Jeremy Kerley
5'9, 189 pounds | Wide Receiver | TCU
Final Word: Kerley is a player that brings playmaking ability to many different areas of the game. He has had success as both a punt and kick returner. His speed and lateral quickness make him very dangerous in space with the ability to eat up a ton of yardage. He needs to work on his route running and developing a feel for the defense. However, Kerley will go later than a player like Randall Cobb but could end up with a similar career.
