2011 NFL Draft Profile: Lester Jean

by Alfie Crow on Mar 18, 2011 5:00 PM EDT in 2011 NFL Draft Scouting Reports

Height: 6-3

Weight: 215lbs

PROS: Very good size for the wide receiver position. Very physical player who will willingly block and fights for the football. Didn’t time well at the NFL Combine, but looks faster than his 4.65 time. Got better each season at FAU including nearly doubling his output from junior to senior year. Nice redzone target with great leaping ability and adjusts to the ball well.

CONS: Not a very good route runner and predominantly just ran down the field to catch go routes in college. Still a very raw football player, but he has lots of potential to grow. More of a body catcher than a hands catcher and will drop some easy passes because he lets them into his body. Not very elusive and doesn’t offer very much as far as yards after the catch.

yes!!!

Lester Jean is a total Jags guy… super raw but with tons of athletic upside/size. He does appear faster than the 4.65 forty, but his best asset would seem to be his “jump ball” ability in the red zone.

He would make a solid 5-7 round pick with the chance of rising to the 4th, but being too much of a project before that… IMO
