Dazz Newsome ran a 4.3 in the 2021 combine so he’s a speed guy. Broke his collarbone at some point in 2021 which kinda ruined his career. Made it back to an active roster for 3 games but couldn’t hang around with anyone this off-season.

Seems to be an athlete 1st WR with poor catching technique but If you could get him the ball he’s very good after the catch. Has returner ability too but I’m sure we would’ve already worked him out if we cared about his dual threat ability, to return kicks and catch. He’s not a better WR than Dede so unless he’s got some more skills idk what he could do for us. Stealing Pryor off the Jags squad would appease me more
Addition: Looked more into him and his 4.3 40 was an error. A largely documented error. He’s actually a 4.59 guy which makes him not really an elite athlete.
Dede Westbrook is probably the most well know out of all of these. He wad a stud out of Oklahoma who put up over 1500 yards and 17 touchdowns in his second year (4th in Heisman) before declaring. He ran a 4.39 40 and was drafted in the 4th round by the Jags. He was projected 2nd-4th round so fell a bit towards his floor.
He started his rookie year on IR but came back the second half and was their leading receiver in the playoffs (this is a Blake Bortles team so that means 48 yards.)
In 2018 he lead the Jags in most WR categories
In 2019 he fell off a little bit but still put up 660 yards with 66 receptions.
In 2020 he tore his ACL and hasn't done much since. He was on the Vikings in 2021 but only had 15 targets and tried out with Miami in 2022.
His first 3 years he put up 1716 yards and 9 touchdowns. The past 2 he has put up 72 yards and 0 TDs
