Poor Jalen, like me (but I'm old), he seems to be shrinking in height and gaining weight.
I've chatted with him 2-3 times over the years and while he might not have been 6'3" as he has been variously reported, he's definitely taller than 6'1" - probably 6'2". As for weight, if this is true, hopefully it is all muscle. Really, though, how does one "work on speed" at this point?
Regardless of his true/actual height, if he can still do the 42" vertical leap, his height is almost academic.
He's always been the one Crusader that I thought had the best chance at not only making the NFL but succeeding perhaps even more than Kalif.

FWIW, when he got measured at the combine, he came in at 6'1 and 3/8"

He played around 215 his last 2 years at HC. He weighed in at 218 at the Hula bowl. Scouts said 210 is his ideal weight so he cut 10 lbs and was 208 at the combine.
He’s slimmed down if anything. Leaner and more cut.

I just realized the Panthers play at the Pats Thursday night. Carried on NFL network too.

Unclear how severe….collision on a route combination over the middle.

I wonder if Jalen got a better deal than this year's "Mr. Irrelevant" Jaylen Key drafted last by the Jets out of Alabama?

Ayir was implied in the original post, our NFL WR Alum are Coker, Ayir, and Raymond...all of their teams are playing Thursday night (although I'd suspect Raymond is right on the fringe of being good enough to actually not see the field Thursday)

Didn't see Ja on the first series. Pouring buckets there. Not sure if they will throw as much.
Surprised starting QB and RB for Pats are playing.

So far, one catch for just the 3 yards but Jalen had a 13 yarder called back on an illegal shift.
Just had a beautiful double move to beat the defender, ball was underthrown to his left and Jalen couldn't adjust, slipping on the wet turf trying to get back to it.

Looked like Jalen also caught a pass for a first down that was called back for an offensive penalty: Thought that's what I saw but wanted to make sure. Nice play, called back.

So, my guess is we've NEVER seen Holy Cross statistically represented in an NFL weekend more than yesterday (granted, pre-season, but still):
3rd & 8 at DET 29
(4:45 - 3rd) (Shotgun) H.Hooker pass short middle to P.Hesse to DET 37 for 8 yards (D.Long). PENALTY on NYG-B.Whitley, Roughing the Passer, 15 yards, enforced at DET 37. [ugh!]
1st & 10 at NYG 48
(4:32 - 3rd) H.Hooker pass short left to Z.Knight to NYG 39 for 9 yards (B.Whitley; D.Johnson).
2nd & 7 at NYG 16
(2:20 - 3rd) H.Hooker sacked at NYG 18 for -2 yards (sack split by B.Whitley and C.Rogers). PENALTY on NYG-C.Rogers, Face Mask, 8 yards, enforced at NYG 16 - No Play.
3rd & 5 at DET 14
(10:47 - 4th) (Shotgun) N.Sudfeld sacked at DET 8 for -6 yards (B.Whitley).
4th & 11 at DET 8
(10:07 - 4th) J.Fox punts 51 yards to NYG 41, Center-S.Daly. A.Asante to NYG 45 for 4 yards (L.Strickland; M.Betts).
That's all in addition to Jalen, noted above.
No sign of Kalif . . . . too good to chance an injury pre-game season (duh!) and/or want to see those fighting for a roster spot?

No great insight on my part, but you have to think that if we can have 4 or 5 players active on NFL rosters it has to help tremendously with recruiting..
