Jalen Curry has wrist surgery if I remember currently, so his senior film was limited. We’ll be taking a look at his junior film where he put up insane numbers.
Quickly before we begin I just want to point out one thing so that you can notice it too. Curry is a big time body catcher. You want a receiver with strong hands that will secure the pass, then quickly tuck it away. With Curry I noticed all but two plays where he lets it come into his chest and then secures it. If you go back to Thomas Marcus’ film from his senior season, you’ll see a lot of great catches and notice the difference. Alright let’s begin. http://www.hudl.com/v/28bbCF 0:09 - Quick get off, nice hesitation to get by the defender, finishes off with speed for the touchdown. Pretty routine play from Gunnell to Curry it seems. 0:22 - Another quick get off where he’s getting up field as soon as the ball is snapped. I want to give him credit for running his route beneath the linebacker to get into space rather than being greedy going down field and having Gunnell throw it in traffic. Cuts all the way across the field and almost gets caught but goes in for a score. 0:44 - Again, the get off is incredible. Hits the corner with a two step and accelerates downfield. Comes down with it in the corner of the end zone. 0:55 - Tried to break down the receiver but trips up. High throw from Gunnel but I’m impressed that Curry was able to grab it. I feel like most receivers there aren’t expecting that bad of a pass from that short of distance. Finds some room to run and here you see some explosiveness to get through and split the two defenders for a score. 1:10 - End zone fade, one of my least favorite plays in football, but Curry comes down with it after the corner played excellent coverage. Good jump and strong hands by Curry there. 1:20 - Nickel corner is containing the edge and corner is backed up almost ten yards. Catches at the LOS and runs over a guy for a score. 1:30 - I’ll take a good blocking play. Feels which side the corner is trying to go and shifts his weight to keep the corner away. 1:40 - Good old tunnel screen, just put the ball in his hands and he’ll make a play. 1:50 - Pretty good get off the line, burns past the corner and a terribly under thrown ball by Gunnell but Curry tracks it down and comes down with it. Overall when I watch his film he’s like a stretched out Shun Brown. I don’t think he’s the huge 6-3 target that will be hauling in jump balls, but he’s a guy that can get separation on downfield route to burn you down the side or across the middle. His best work is when he gets the ball within the first three yards and has room to run.
