Matt Harmon on Jalen Coker
From the video
Jaylen Coker, my guy, is a baller and can play as an outside on ball receiver... Jaylen Coker's like lining up as as the X receiver, the isolated X and winning on like big boy go routes... I think Jaylen Coker is a stud. I think he's awesome.
STACKED’s take
Coker is critical to McMillan slot plan; stud boundary X with late-season emergence.
Jaylen Coker is positioned as the critical variable enabling McMillan's slot conversion. Matt Harmon calls him 'a baller' capable of playing as an outside on-ball receiver and describes him as 'a really good number two' on the Panthers, calling him 'a stud' and 'awesome.' Coker's ascension is essential for the Panthers to move McMillan into the slot more frequently, even without Chris Braswell in the receiver room. Coker emerged as a boundary X receiver in late-season games, including the playoff game against the Rams and the first Rams game. He lines up as an isolated X receiver and wins on big-boy go routes; he is a big-body receiver with good release moves against press coverage who can credibly play boundary receiver. Harmon suggests that if McMillan stays in the X-receiver role, there could be times on a week-to-week basis where Coker's production is close to McMillan's.
