Jamaal Pritchett Highlights

00:59

Pritchett pressures defenses with his rapid foot turnover once he has the ball. He is a quick-twitch mover with good short-area quickness. He thrives on short/quick route concepts and manufactured touches. 

Whether as a punt returner or weapon in space offensively, Pritchett presses upfield and navigates traffic urgently. He swiftly evades incoming defenders and follows blocks to spring him into the open field. Pritchett has a strong feel for space and those around him; he keeps his head on a swivel. 

Unfortunately, Pritchett’s combination of height, weight and arm length will not entice many teams to draft him before Day 3. His quickness and speed are neutralized by physicality and contact. Long-armed corners are difficult for him to shed and get past in press alignment. 

Pritchett projects as a punt return specialist and ace in the NFL. That's his best chance to make a 53-man roster.
