From the video
Jacobi Lane, does he have greater potential than his projected role player status?... I would say fuck it if I had to make a choice... the hands are fantastic, the body control's strong, the route running needs improvement... sloppy and kind of flaky... the RSP comps are George Pickens and Chris Henry... Why do I feel a Fred Gibson vibe whenever I watch Jacoby Lane?
STACKED’s take
Fantastic hands but flaky execution; Fred Gibson comp signals limited upside.
Has greater potential than projected role player status, but Bob Harris would choose to 'fuck it' if forced to make a tough call on whether he fulfills that potential. Strengths include fantastic hands and strong body control, but route running needs improvement and is described as sloppy and flaky in execution. RSP comps are George Pickens and late Chris Henry—great players with mercurial tendencies. Harris places Lane in the mid-range flakiness tier (less mercurial than Pickens/Henry, more so than Chris Brazell). The core fear is a Fred Gibson vibe—Gibson was a mid-round receiver who never developed into a consistent fantasy asset, suggesting Lane may face similar trajectory constraints despite his physical tools.
