not that it doesn't matter at all, but the balls that Jarvis is going to be expected to handle in the league will not be jump balls.

the vertical is more about explosiveness than actual jumping. same with the broad. he did terrible in both

lack of explosiveness is a major concern when going from college to the NFL

I agree the tests matter. We're going to see him fall quite a bit if his combine continues to suck. He can catch anything that comes his way, sure, but if he's can't get open, what good is that?

Yes it is a big concern for the players whose game is predicated on Explosiveness!! Do you not understand that his game is not based on his athleticism and explosiveness?

ETA: ODB's game is based on speed, so he had to test well! I love the comparison they used for Juice in Hines Ward. Hines ran a 4.55/ 30 inch vert, and 9' broad!
