What was the point of moving 5* DB Jacoby Stevens to WR?

What's the backstory on this? Why did they move a valuable piece to the defense to offense if they haven't even used him? Has he even gotten any signinficant playing time yet?

Of all the things to worry about this is what you pick?

Jacoby was the slowest to pick up the defensive schemes and is having trouble picking up the routes and offense under Canada. Amazing athlete but needs more time to understand football at this level. Be patient.

Really good question. He has gotten a little playing time and caught a couple balls. My guess is that if his PT doesn't increase he'll probably transfer. As far as safety goes, I doubt that his play could be any less underwhelming than Battle & Delpit. The only two players on defense who have had consistently good grades are "Greedy" and "Devin".

great question, been wondering the same, he prob needs to move back to DB if they arent going to use him at WR. hell replace battle..

Lol transitioned to offense for 3-4 jet sweeps a game- joke.

We want as many highly recruited players as possible, not playing at the WR position.

I'm sure the coaches have a good reason for this. They wouldn't purposely keep him off the field, especially now when we need all the help we can get.

Some 5 stars just bust... We've had some in the past that come in highly touted and never did a thing or didn't live up to the hype. Hope this isn't the case with JS3

Secret playbook man, wait until we open it up!

I swore this board was gonna make him the next Josh Reed

He was a safety but Delpit was beating him out of reps. Played WR in high school as well as safety. May wee him back on defense very soon.

Based on the team's subpar play so far, the two biggest freshmen underachievers are Stevens and Jacob Phillips.

Hey, this is a legitimate question especially for our in trouble defense! ![](https://images.tigerdroppings.com/Images/Icons/Icongeauxtigers.png)

When a 5 star db gets moved THIS early, it should raise some eybrows. They haven't even tried him at db in a game yet. I don't trust this staff's evaluation of players right now anyway.
Posted on 9/19/17 at 4:16 pm to Fus0623
He can't be any worse of a safety than Ed Paris

What about putting some TEs at wr and just making 6-7 yard completions. Stop trying to only get 50 yard bombs.
