When he came out of college, there were a lot of questions marks about this player’s ability in this area.
Tight end Jordan Leggett’s receiving skills weren’t in question during the draft process, but some scouts wondered about his blocking.
But watching him today in practice, I really saw him getting after defenders as an in-line blocker.
Aside from good technique, you also have to have the desire to do it, to really get after defenders.
Leggett was really getting after defenders today.
In a matter of a few minutes, I saw him lock up OLB Corey Lemonier and then OLB Freddie Bishop.
If he continues to block this way, he could turn out to be a fifth-round steal for the Jets.
Because he’s already very good at the receiving part of the job.
