Ja’Lynn Polk Summary:
The Positives
- Strong hands
- Decent after the catch
- Willing Blocker
- Has some twitch and subtle movements in routes but it is not consistent
The Negatives
- Routes are not refined
- Athleticism does not appear to be high level
- Serious concerns about ability to beat press and separate at the next level
- Seems to operate at 1 speed and not have a higher gear
It feels like a lot of people mistake moving at one speed for smoothness. Unfortunately for Polk his one speed is not very fast. He has very good hands and can make a player miss after the catch, but I have serious concerns about if he has the route running, athleticism, and or physicality to beat corners on the press and separate. His roll on Washington (WR3) may be his best upside at the next level.
