UDFA Rutgers roster position filled

[BTTA]

Was wondering who would fill this gaping void.

Patriots are adding a receiver in Rutgers free agent JaQuae Jackson - The Boston Globe

The 6-foot-2-inch, 190-pounder caught 22 passes for 361 yards and a touchdown in his senior season.

Very Givens like numbers. Moreso than Wallis.

6.85 - 3-cone and a 4.18 shuttle.

Pats basically traded Steuber to Atlanta for Jackson.. lol

Makes sense, OT is so deep and the WR roster is thin.

You're a Patriots receiver and your name does not begin with Ja? Can we add Ja to keep things clear?

6’2” 190 lb. Very good height…ok weight. It’s clear Wolf has been acquiring taller receivers.

2022: receiving yards - 1178
2021: receiving yards - 744

Leaving no stone unturned amirite

Weren't those stats from Cal U of Pennsylvania? He spent 2023 w Rutgers and had about 350 yards in receptions.

He’s light (183 lbs) for his height (6’1”) and not overly strong, good agility though.

Talk to me next season after some time in a strength and conditioning program if he’s at or over 200 pounds… then maybe he’ll be closer to David Givens.

As a side note, I don’t understand the rush to compare these UDFA WR’s to Givens, he was 217 pounds leaving college, strong and very explosive.

Yep…that’s why I mentioned 2021 and 2022.

Just what we need more feather weights at WR..

Assuming health and development by the rookies and young players, they look pretty deep and physical at WR… even Thornton put on weight.

I don’t think either of these UDFA’s WR’s make the 53 unless there’s total calamity at the position in the preseason.

He’s the same height as Thornton at 6’2”. He also put on weight and is now 190.

Oh ok thank you for that information. We seem to have a pretty deep group of guys at WR.. although unproven. I'll take this over the last few seasons.

 

[Patsfanin Philly]

Yep…that’s why I mentioned 2021 and 2022.

But that level of competition is obviously less than Big 10 and without knowing it was not Rutgers (and their schedule) it looks more impressive than his stats w Rutgers (361 yds and most of those vs lower level competition e.g. Wagner)

 

[DaBruinz]

He’s the same height as Thornton at 6’2”. He also put on weight and is now 190.

Neither Jackson (6'1) nor Wallis (5'11) are 6'2. Thornton is 6'2 3/8.

 

[Zuma]

Neither Jackson (6'1) nor Wallis (5'11) are 6'2. Thornton is 6'2 3/8.

Ok he shrunk.

 

[DaBruinz]

Ok he shrunk.

It was just erroneously reported as 6'2. His Pro-Day number was 6'1 even.
