Jalen Tolbert, Dynasty Fantasy Football Rookie Wide Receiver

Measurables:
6’1" 194 lbs.
4.49 40-yard dash
36” Vertical Jump
10’3” Broad Jump
"Tolbert could be a steal in the 3rd round of rookie drafts."
Strengths:
Very smooth athlete
Skilled at release moves and adjusting speed mid-route
Sudden feet for clean breaks at route stem
Good tracking and adjustment on off-target throws
Strong 10" hands to win 50-50 balls & finish through contact
Turns into a DB when necessary; he catches it or no one does
Experience playing outside and in the slot
His 178 receptions, 3,140 yards, 22 TDs, & 10-100 yard receiving games are all South Alabama school records
Weaknesses:
Drops increased each of the last 3 seasons: 4, 5, & 7 respectively
Doesn't have true breakaway speed post-catch
Tips his break and/or path by drifting early in routes
Not much, if any, separation on a lot of his catches
Doesn't make many tacklers miss
Hugs the sideline too much allowing DBs to push him out
Underwhelming blocker and minimal special teams experience
Drunk Thoughts
Jalen Tolbert was a three-year starter at South Alabama and played the X-receiver role for offensive coordinator Major Applewhite. He passed up several offers to Power 5 schools to stay close to home, and became South Alabama's best receiver in school history. Jalen needs to work on a few areas of his game, but he does have starting traits for the NFL with his ability to track and make contested catches. Tolbert could be a steal in the 3rd round of rookie drafts.
