2022 NFL DRAFT: JELANI WOODS
Apr 19, 2022
By John Mesenbrink
VIRGINIA (JR), TE
Used primarily as a blocker in his first three years for Oklahoma St., Woods’ body of work — as a pass catcher — was limited with 31 receptions on 45 targets for 361 yards and four TDs. Then, in his last year with Virginia, he blossomed with 44 receptions on 71 targets for nearly 600 yards and eight TDs. Which Woods you gonna get? Relatively new as a pass catcher, Woods is a 3rd round projection and a very good backup TE with potential starter status.
Pluses:
• Great size 6’7” 265 lbs
• Catch radius
• High potential
Concerns:
• Functional blocker but needs improvement
• Acceleration from line of scrimmage
• Questionable YAC
