I don't know how fast Camp is. But, just his body type and even demeanor remind me of Bay Bay. I don't know if he's as athletic as Bay Bay - that's what made him special - stronger than a LB but smooth and explosive too ... with size. It seems Camp has some of the tools ... looking forward to seeing if he has the rest.

According to huddle:
I'm sure these are high school stats, so I don't know where they would be now.

Man that puts in perspective how insanely athletic these players are. I can't even bench 100lbs.

You don’t have to be athletic to be strong. you are right though, these guys are pretty athletic.

I’ve got pretty high hopes for Jalen. He’s got all the physical tools to be just as good as anyone we’ve had in this offense, just needs that combination of opportunity and putting it all together. I look forward to watching him develop as that #1 option (no offense to Brad or any of the other guys, I just expect Jalen to grab onto that spot and not let go).

Its interesting that the nfl combine reports hand size even for offensive line men.
1. I really really hope Camp has soft hands and the eye for timing his leap.
2. It is obvious that he has physical tools to be a great wr in our block heavy and to go up and fight for the ball.
I will gladly take 2 alone. But give him some of smelter's hands and some of brad s ability to time the high point and we will have a true difference maker on the offense.
This kid looks like he could start on miami u!

Looking at JC's highlights from high school, it looks like the strength, hands, and jump ball ability have always been there.
If:
1) he carries out his blocking assignments and
2) can get separation with his lack of top-end speed,
then we are looking at our next great GT WR.

According to wikipedia he ran a 100 yard dash in 10.99 seconds in high school for the track team. I did see another article while searching that said he ran a sub par 40 time that limited his offers. Odd that they didn't publish the time.

Seems like he doesn't quite separate like Walker, bebe or hill. Was shocked to see that smelter has 11 inch hands, which was 99th percentile among drafted WRs.
Wonder if there are ways (smoke routes I guess) to use jalens strength and size.

All those guys were full time starters. I think we will see him get some separation this year with being a full time starter.

It was like a 4.6 or something. I saw Giff Smith time him and he ran a 4.6 with an absolutely horrible get-off. That's why 40-times don't often tell the story of how fast a guy really is - if a guy trains specifically for running a 40 with the start and everything (plus it depends on the surface, weather, etc) it will be way different even though his football speed is still the same. Not to mention, Bay Bay might've gotten faster as he developed physically.

That was kind my round about point. He may end up with comparable Bebe speed as he matures. Lets hope so.
