Alshon Jeffery Will Not Need To Pump Gas Anymore

[Tux]

Alshon Jeffery will forego his senior season and make himself eligible for the 2012 NFL Draft.

So much for needing to ever pump gas again.

I think he will be an nfl bust. That or be a receiving TE.

I think he'll be a good pro.

I think he'll be a good pro.

It will take a lot of hard work. He has height, good hands but no speed as a top wr & body control seems suspect. I can see where he could blow up weight wise.

 

[ukvols]

We could use him in Jacksonville. I'm afraid the Jags will be picking 1 or 2 spots too late to get Blackmon, and perhaps a tad too high to reach for Alshon. The Jags desperately need WR help though. Either of those guys could potentially be the #1 WR here as a rookie.

Stephon Gilmore also will forego senior yr

 

[DarthVisor]

Well, that sucks. I wish them the best of luck, though.

 

[mitzustu]

Helps us out

[golfballs]

how's his work ethic?

from what I've seen of him, I think he'll be a solid starter. not all-pro, though

 

[DarthVisor]

I have no idea about the work ethic.

A full-court press will be put on Gilmore to retain him.

He has never really been that impressive IMO. He's been toasted more than waffle house raisin bread.

 

[knoxville's finest]

Alston was a stud his freshman year....didnt hear too much this year.

 

[knoxville's finest]

He looked fat this year.

 

[SCar]

Gilmore is a more natural and would be better at FS, imo. Could see him having a Malcom Jenkins style transition to safety in the NFL.

Jeffery will be a good pro. He looks slow but still time after time gets behind defenses down the field. Just not many in the NFL or elsewhere with the size strength and hands combination. Would be well served to do some major conditioning work in the 3 months leading to the combine. If I were him I'd find out where Julio Jones worked out pre combine last year and get with that program.

 

[Dudleys87]

Solid #2. That about it.

 

[Jax_Vol]

He manages to box out, get position, whatever you want to call it and has great hands. Doesn't have top speed but I think he will be a good pro

He gets toasted a lot, but he makes a lot of plays.

 

[govols/cc]

I guess so. He seems to benefit from other teams screw ups than actually making plays. Jmo.

There is some truth to that. His fumble return against UGA was the result of Crowell dropping the ball. Crazy play.

 

[YankeeVol]

If he keeps his weight down he should do very well. If not he could end up like Mike Williams

I'll take that as sarcasm but did he cause the fumble. Most ints are thrown right to him. He can't cover man to man & that is enough to hurt him tremendously.

yea def no haden or peterson but a 2nd round pick atleast id think

alshon might be a 2nd rounder too

No, I was being serious. That play was pure chance. Crowell was running, and he just dropped the ball.

He got burnt time and again last year during Bray's coming out party.

 

[TennesseeFan07]

He has great God-given talent. That said, he'll be fine unless he eats himself out of it.
