2011 Jets Draft Choice Jeremy Kerley Highlights

Kerley reminded me of a player who donned the green and white this past season. Who? I'll give you a hint. Here's a snippet from Kerley's NFL Combine capsule: "He is a very raw route runner, but he has the lateral agility to separate on underneath routes and a knack for making people miss in the open field"
Sound familiar? It's #10 Santonio Holmes. Holmes has better top end speed but they are the basically the same height and weight (5'10, 190 pounds). This leads me to believe that it will be Holmes and not Braylon that will play somewhere else in 2012 (or 2013 pending these greedy sob's figure it out by then). You know Schottenheimer likes this Kerley because he's adept on those quick out patterns when the defense is in soft man coverage. Mark Sanchez has been accustomed to throwing these easy completions and having them turn into 5-8 yard catches with Holmes. The success of these routes are essential because it gives Sanchez and the offense rhythm while keeping the defense honest. Kerley can also return punts which is something the Jets could utilize. I expect this kid to make the team and contribute on special teams out of the gate. I wouldn't be shocked if he also got action in the slot. TWSS.
