Jaden Payoute

Big, strong body who looks the part. Physically ready to play in college now. Elite speed and burst. Ran 100 meters in 10.6 seconds. Long jumped 22 feet. Physical runner and hard to bring down with ball in hands. Tracks ball nicely and high points it in traffic. Has size to go over middle and speed to stretch field. Creates matchup problems for small cornerbacks. Plays quarterback in high school and understands defenses. Tuning his route running is crucial. Getting into and out of breaks needs work since he does not get much game experience. Has to show he can make in-route reads based on coverages. High-level impact receiver for Power 5 program. Likely a third- to fourth-round NFL draft pick.
