When the Eagles selected Jalen Reagor in the first round, you heard about his playmaking ability.
You also heard about his speed, but it came with an asterisk: a sluggish 4.47 40 time at the NFL Scouting Combine.
You also heard that he put on 10 pounds from his playing weight of 195 at the Combine and that when back in the comfy confines of TCU, where he starred at receiver for the last three seasons, he ran a blitzing 4.22 40 on a virtual pro day.
You also heard that he’s been clocked at a blazing 20.8 mph in actual games using GPS technology.
So, what’s the deal with Reagor’s speed?
“That dude will never get caught from behind. Ever,” TCU wide receivers coach Malcolm Kelly told Bracy Sports Media (full interview below). “As long as he plays, he will never get caught from behind.”
TCU wide receivers coach Malcolm Kelly gives insight into Philadelphia Eagles WR Jalen Reagor, who was selected with the first pick (No. 21) in the NFL Draft. Kelly himself is a former NFL wide receiver who played two seasons after being selected in the second round (No. 51) by the Washington Redskins in 2008.
