From now until the 2024 NFL Draft, we will scout and create profiles for as many prospects as possible, examining their strengths, weaknesses, and what they can bring to an NFL franchise. These players could be potential top-10 picks, all the way down to Day 3 selections and priority undrafted free agents. Today, I’ll be profiling Georgia WR Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint.

– Good competitive toughness, plays to the whistle
THE BAD
– Low production in college in a loaded Georgia offense

TAPE BREAKDOWN
The best part of Rosemy-Jacksaint’s tape was the blocking. Some receivers are high-effort, low-execution blockers or vice versa, but he is both. He plays to the whistle and finishes. As a blocker, he can be nasty and finish with DBs left on the ground. He can also transition into a blocker downfield after running a route. This also all lends itself well to him being an impact special teams player.
He is good at catching the ball and can readjust to the ball in the air and catch away from his frame really well. He is also able to absorb large hits while catching, or shortly after catching the ball.
Rosemy-Jacksaint isn’t the most refined route runner, partially because he doesn’t have the long speed to threaten defensive backs consistently. He does have a solid understanding of his relationship to defenders and knows how to take the right angles to create separation.
And here is a beautiful touchdown catch. He caught the ball over his shoulder in stride and took it to the house.
CONCLUSION
Overall, Rosemy-Jacksaint is a high-effort player who does a lot of things well. He has sure hands, he blocks well, and he is physical while catching the ball. He doesn’t have top-end athleticism and his production in college was low overall, albeit on a loaded Georgia offense. He projects as an impact special teamer and though he didn’t play there much in college, he might project better in the slot where he can get involved as a blocker closer to the line of scrimmage. The Steelers just released Allen Robinson II who has a similar skill set. He isn’t as big, but he compares well to Robinson’s game.
