Jack Bech Highlights

00:54

This season, Bech emerged as a highly effective pass catcher. As a route runner, he is an efficient and intentional mover to create separation. You will not see all of the fancy footwork at the line of scrimmage; he relies on sudden jab steps to move his defender and creates space to enter the vertical stretch phase of his route. Bech is quicker than fast and uses it to break free from his defender. He runs routes with little wasted movement at the top of his routes. He is a well-tempered route runner who plays at his own pace; he will lull defenders to sleep before separating at the breakpoint of his routes. When the ball is in the air, he attacks it with a ferocious mentality, bringing those contested catches in. He can be a quarterback's best friend on third downs.

He meets press alignment/bump-and-run coverage with physicality. He uses his hands well to counter the defensive back's punches in the contact window. Bech is strong, and he works through that contact well enough to still get open in a timely manner. That short-area quickness aids him in creating space quickly against man coverage.

Bech's toughness and physical play style show up as a perimeter blocker and after the catch. He does a good job sealing defenders and giving his running backs space to work on the perimeter. After the catch, he runs hard and with good strength to gain as many yards after contact as possible. He doesn't mind being a middle-of-the-field collision player and chain mover.

However, Bech won't wow anyone in the speed department. He is not an explosive mover and lacks the burst to step on defensive backs' toes, pushing vertically. Bech's top-end speed is adequate at best. He is quick but will not win many foot races against NFL perimeter corners. He is a first-year breakout player, and one year of production raises eyebrows inside NFL buildings.

Overall, Jack Bech projects as a power slot, possession receiver who will thrive working the horizontal route concepts like crossers, dig/daggers, inside hitches, over routes, etc. Bech can become the glue guy for an NFL passing offense and handle the dirty work route concepts in the middle of the field with defenders converging from their landmarks. If a team can work past his athletic shortcomings, they will have a potential productive possession-style receiver.
