[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 668165, member: 10086"] We see so many players with potential come and go through the years, even high rated draft picks fade away regularly on every team and every position year after year so I'm not confused why so many of us fans take a more conservative approach to the individual success or failure of a Divisiin II player that was nearly undrafted. Jeff Janis was clearly picked due to his physical attributes and measurables. His speed is *** for tat with 5th round pick Trevor Davis, yet Jeff is 30 lbs heavier which is unbelievable. He also performed at a high level in college (albeit a Division II school) After a very successful campaign amassing 20.2 yards a catch in 2011.. Jeff was given a more serious look in 2012 and he responded by leading ALL division II WR's In yardage (#1 in the country) and also recorded 17 TDs By the draft, his grade estimated him at 4th-5th round pick in 2014. the primary reason Jeff slid was the question "would Jeff translate his highly athletic play against more formidable defensive backs at the next level??"
