Tevin Jones: Long Shot Outside WR

[Born2Steel]

This is a player I am rooting for to make the 53 this season. He's a long shot and would need to have an insane TC and preseason for that to happen.(Not discussing injuries on here) Tevin Jones is tall at 6'2"/3", fast with a 4.48 40time, and had a good 3cone with a 6.88. Besides those numbers though, this is a guy I personally watched play at UM for the Tigers.(Team bias) Take a look at some Tevin Jones highlights from last season's preseason game vs Carolina. Not a tell all scouting report but you do get to see him get separation and make adjustments to make the catch.

A little shiftiness in space on this one:

An adjustment to a ball thrown slightly behind him in traffic for a TD. Also watch for the Mason Rudolph 'leap frog' after the EZ dance:

Another adjustment for a low throw for a TD. QB scrambles and Jones is able to get free for the score:

Showing some good speed with KC:

Not really an in-depth discussion thread but I wanted to get eyes on this guy. Thoughts welcome.

He wears #14. That has to change.

That said, his block (in that same game) is legendary.

yes, it was Hines Ward like

I think they keep five WR's and those players are locked unless someone shows out.

JuJu, Moncrief, Washington, Johnson, Swtizer.

Switz is a lock Imo due to returning abilities, but maybe DJ takes that job? Danny Smith talked highly of his ability to return kick/punts, and if that is the case that could soften Switzer's case for the 53 man roster.

[Born2Steel]

I’m looking at a possible 6 WRs. Moncrief and Johnson, JuJu and Eli/Switzer, Wash and a list of prospects.

Until the TE room fills out or somebody is brought in that Ben trusts, I see keeping 6 WRs.

[86WARD]

They’ll keep 6 and it’s already set unless someone blows up big time or someone fails big time in preseason Switzer, Rogers, JuJu, Johnson, Washington, Moncrief. Rogers would be the odd man out at this stage. Switzer is a good locker room guy and teammate. He’s not going anywhere.

Rogers would be the odd man out at this stage.

Wasn’t there a sound bite of Eli Rogers ripping the front office? He and DHB basically cut themselves.

Eli was in the doghouse in 2017. He then got injured but he gets signed for 2018. Then, he gets an extension in 2019.

I am surprised he was brought back twice after being in the doghouse. But what the hell do I know?

he's antonio brown's cousin's uncle's nephew's former roommate

He’s got some spark when he gets the ball. I think he’s another one of those AB types that if he did get a big deal, his ego would blow up!!
