From the article

Shepard is adept at finding the soft spot in zones and reading coverages, both in terms of pre-snap formations and the positioning of the player who is covering him... He was in the rotation for the Lions and Bears games, playing primarily in the slot as he filled in for Omar Cooper.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Shepard fits Jets slot role; strong zone-reading instincts offset by focus lapses.

Shepard is a slot receiver in a possession role with the Jets; he demonstrated scheme fit by playing primarily in the slot during Lions and Bears games, filling in for Omar Cooper. The source notes he is adept at finding soft spots in zones and reading coverages pre-snap and based on defender positioning, though his focus can be inconsistent (10 pre-snap penalties in career, including seven false starts).
