Kyshoen Jarrett NFL Draft 2015: Scouting Report, Grade for Redskins Rookie

STRENGTHS

A three-year starter for Frank Beamer, Kyshoen Jarrett is battle-tested and was a productive safety in coverage and in run support. He's a high-motor player with an attacking nature when the ball is in front of him. Jarrett is a clear leader on the field, and he's been tasked with making play calls and really captaining the defense. He's a fiery player who leads by emotion and production. He's been very productive in the ACC and has shown the hands to create turnovers and stop the offense. Teams that like to blitz their safeties will love Jarrett.

WEAKNESSES

Jarrett is an undersized safety prospect with average speed and average quickness on film. He's not a flashy player with the burst to jump the ball or show great range in deep coverage. Jarrett is limited when asked to backpedal, turn and run. He's heavy-footed and a little clumsy when asked to make quick, sudden movements. The line separating Jarrett and the other top strong safeties are size and athleticism. With just average size (5'10", 200 lbs), Jarrett does look more like a Day 3 prospect.

2014 STATISTICS

Tackles: 88

PRO COMPARISON: Major Wright, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

A small safety with good upside in the right scheme, Jarrett could have a career like Major Wright once in the NFL.

FINAL GRADE: 5.20/9.00 (Quality Backup)
