Advanced Stats Deep Dive.
TL;DR: Definitely just an intermediate and deep threat. Has great intermediate and deep stats, but not proven at high volumes, so who knows how sustainable that performance is. I think this is a fine take. But his leadership skills and run blocking effort will be critical if he is the main guy being brought in to start outside. We will have a VERY young WR core next year. Definitely going to need another depth guy just for numbers sake. But I think this guy would be coming in to fill Marrions role except a better deep threat.

Top 10 Best WRs on Deep passes in P4 by Y/RR with at least another year elligibility and 10 targets: Jeremiah Smith, Carnell Tate, Parker Livingstone (In portal from Texas), Micahi Danzy, Terrell Anderson (In Portal from NCST), Teddy Hoffman, Charlie Becker, Braylon Staley, Joseph Williams, Amare Thomas.... Jacobs ranks 19th.... Ian Strong is 18th. Jayce Brown is 16th, Isiah Canion is 22nd, Omarion Miller is 28th.... and Malachi Toney is 29th.
Top 10 best WRs on Intermediate passes in P4 by Y/RR with at least another year elligibliity and 14 targets: Carlos Hernandez, Bryant Wesco, Mario Craver, Junior Sherrill, Mike Mathews, Jeremiah McClellan, Nyck Harbor, KJ Duff, Lawayne McCoy, Tre Spivey... Jacobs ranks 12th... Jayce Brown is 21st, Jeremiah Smith is 26th, Terrell Anderson is 29th....
HOWEVER it's important to note that Jacobs did this not under a significant amount of targets. And these are the type of stastics that its much harder to keep high with more targets. If we did like Min 10 targets for Deep and 25 Intermediate, the names that are in the top 20 of both are:
Jeremiah Smith (Ohio St), Ian Strong (Rutgers), Amare Thomas (Houston), and Braylon Staley (UTenn) ... And obviously Strong is the only one of them in the portal...
