I know he is a toad but he was an amazing player to watch.I hope the Cowboys take a chance with this kid. He would be a phenom on special teams.

He's an electric player (but again, the level of competition might be held against him by some teams), but at 5-10, 189 — his size at the NFL Combine — you've got to run faster than 4.62. At his size, you have to run in the 4.4s; at his speed, you'd better be 6-3 and 215. He's productive enough that even in a weak WRs class (after A.J. Green, Julio Jones and maybe Leonard Hankerson ... and of course Aldrick Robinson ... nobody really jumps out), Kerley will get a look. But I assume it will be as a free agent or in round 7.

Not trying to be mean. He's as exciting (OK, terrifying) a player as I have seen in person in years. But so many NFL teams have such rigid rules about height, speed, hand size, etc., that I don't see him lasting. He'll be a stud in Canada, though.

I would throw him in the class with Wes Welker. I am not saying he will be as good as Welker but Kerley has"it". I certainly would throw a 6th or 7th round pick at him. I bet he will be in the league longer than DeMarco Murry.

Unfortunately for Jeremy, he's undersized and the NFL will just focus on his 40 time which isn't great. Football scouts tend to not be able to see the forrest through the trees on some players and a player's five or ten yard reaction time is more important than a 40 time. Ask any of Jeremy's opponents in college or highschool if he is fast enough to play elite football and they will just laugh. He also has one of the best high school highlight real I've ever seen

Kerley should be picked up by someone based on his highlight reel against us alone.

as a die hard Jets fan, i say welcome to Kerley. I can overlook the TCU college team (barf) but they need a good slot/return man and he fills both.

There are some saying the fact that the team drafted Kerley signals the end of Brad Smith in New York. If Smith walks for a big-money deal elsewhere, Kerley just might make the team.

That's exactly why they drafted him. Need a good slot/#3 receiver (losing Braylon Edwards or Santonio Holmes to free agency) and return man (probably losing Brad Smith). Even though he's a frog, could be a good asset.
