Jeremy Reaves
in our view
Reaves isnt a dynamic size/speed/strength prospect, but he is a football lifer with the competitive make-up and versatile experience to provide depth on the safety depth chart.
strengths
Short, but not small with earned upper and lower body muscle definition. Not a burner, but plays with range expected from a safety. Smooth feet and redirection skills. Soft hands and makes athletic plays on the ball, competing with a my ball mentality when the ball is up for grabs. Responsible for 17 forced turnovers in his career (nine forced fumbles, eight interceptions). Comes to balance well in open space and tackles low. Senior captain and vocal leader who isnt afraid to speak up. Has seen the field from every angle with his versatile starting experience at cornerback and various safety positions. Impressive collegiate resume with 300+ tackles as a three-year starter played in all 49 games South Alabama played the last four seasons. Dane Brugler 2/7/2018
weaknesses
Lacks ideal height and arm length for the position. Movements lack dynamic burst. Reacts first, thinks later, leading to missteps and out-of-position plays. Cover instincts arent a weakness, but they arent a strength either. Spacing was an issue on film, mostly due to undeveloped route anticipation. Bites hard on play fakes, vacating space and creating passing zones for the offense. Jekyll-Hyde in run support, appearing too calculated one play and then overaggressive on the next. Tackling technique needs shored up. Swallowed up by blocks near the line of scrimmage. Dane Brugler 2/7/2018
