I watched the YouTubes, it's where I got the idea that he's very 'jump happy' even for ones he doesn't have to jump for. Especially since he's 6'4" but I've seen really athletic people have the instinct to jump for everything, maybe it's just a peeve of mine.

In the clip I watched, the short hops he took put him in a position for his body to be in front of the ball. I'd say it's either due to his training (putting your body behind the ball means fewer dropped passes, since you really don't have worry about one 'going through your hands') and/or a lack, even if minor, in his confidence to catch passes with his hands only.



As a side note, since he jumps for every pass already, he'd be the perfect WR for Vick. DO IT!
