Jabar Gaffney
WR | (6-1, 193, 4.55) | FLORIDA | COLLEGE STATS
By Pro Football Weekly
Notes: Son of former Florida and New York Jet WR Derrick Gaffney, who was known as a quiet, tireless, hard-working overachiever when he was the second fiddle to Wesley Walker in New York. The younger Gaffney is a third-year sophomore who was trained on how to play receiver by his father. However, as a freshman in '99, he was kicked off the team and lost his scholarship after he allegedly stole cash and a gold watch from a high school all-star game locker room. Returned without a scholarship in 2000 and was an instant sensation, despite being suspended for one half for taunting Tennessee. Won Freshman All-America honors and All-Southeastern Conference honors, catching 71 passes for 1,184 yards and 14 touchdowns. Was a consensus All-American and a Fred Biletnikoff Award finalist in '01, when he snagged 67-1,191-13.
Positives: Exceptional athlete with tremendous body control and balance. Has nice, soft hands and exceptional ball skills. Does a terrific job of adjusting to the ball. Very fluid and plays fast. Runs by people and makes big plays down the field. Can go up and snag the ball at its highest point. Is no boy scout, but he has matured a great deal and erased some of the character concerns surrounding him.
Negatives: Still immature and likes to call attention to himself with his antics. Does not have a great size-speed ratio. Can be a little inconsistent catching inside and has very small hands for a wide receiver. Does not like to do the dirty work like blocking and running out routes at full speed when he is not the primary receiver in the pattern. Team's offensive scheme tends to make receivers look better than they really are, and most of Steve Spurrier's college receivers (Ike Hilliard, Travis Taylor and Reidel Anthony are past first-rounders) do not return full value for where they are drafted.
Summary: Can be an excellent pro if he grows up and learns from his father about how a pro behaves
