My view of it was his qb couldn't throw him open as I saw him him having to slow down his routes or even backpedal to contest an errant throw.
But in reality its probably a mix between the 2 rather than "he can't seperate" or "his qb is all to blame".
Most of college football has bad QB play. This is a tired excuse for why he couldn't produce against Big 12 secondaries.
How did Reagor do last year in games where his offense was rolling with 30-40+ points? Against teams like Purdue, SMU and Kansas?
Max Duggan was horrible even by NCAAF standards .
Percentage of accurate targets:
Justin Jefferson - 69%
Cee Dee Lamb - 59%
Jerry Jeudy - 60%
Henry Ruggs - 57%
......
KJ Hamler 42%
Jalen Reagor 31%
----------------------------------
Reagor's catchable targets was a whopping 60.7%
Reagor's on target throw percentage was literally the 4th worst in the entire NCAAF. There are 130 teams in CFB...
So Lamb/Jeudy saw a perfectly placed ball almost as often as Reagor saw a catchable ball. The 2nd least accurate passes were a full 24% higher than what Reagor saw.
But sure, bad QB play is just an excuse for Reagor's 2019 season...
Duggan is quite bad--no disagreements there.
But for the catchable targets: That's because Reagor doesn't have a very developed route tree. A guy like DJ Moore also dealt with bad QB play in a tougher conference yet adapted by running shorter routes and thus still managed to be productive. Reagor had nothing in his arsenal if not for screens and downfield stuff
And this still doesn't explain how Reagor led his team in receiving for all of 4/12 games last season. Were other WRs on his team catching passes from a different QB?
Not to mention he has some drop concerns--not that bad (certainly not as bad as Hamler)
I have seen more of him than any prospect except JT and Ceedee Lamb and still don't understand what's so special
An earlier poster said he judged him based on traits--which if fine; but his ADP is around players who aren't complete projection and not around projects like Mims, Higgins, etc
Looked like Corey Coleman to me (who I also hated, but I LOVED Josh Doctson so I guess it balances out) and like Corey Coleman being selected by a team with a poor record of WR development (Agholor and Jordan Matthews showed plenty of promise early in their careers) and scouting is a confirmation of what the disappearing acts I saw
