Instincts: Knows how to stalk block cornerbacks with ease. Reads blocks well when running after catching a screen. Navigates the secondary after the catch by taking good angles. Catches the football away from his body.
Polish: Jeffcoat’s overall acumen for blocking, as well as catching and running with the football, make him a valuable player. Good stutter steps before making cuts during routes. Balances his weight fairly well when cutting.
