Jakeem Grant in season 3 of NFL Network's "Undrafted"

Jakeem should have been invited to the Draft Combine based on his legit accomplishments at Texas Tech where he smashed the WR achievements of Wes Welker, Michael Crabtree and Danny Amendola. However, Gil Brandt concluded he was simply too small to play in the NFL. If invited, he would have been in with a big chance of breaking the 40yd record (he had done it in practice and Jakeem doesn't lack confidence). If that had occurred, some other teams may have become more interested. In a way, Gil Brandt (and his advisers) may have inadvertently helped the Dolphins get a steal and also made the chip on Jakeem's shoulder the size of a boulder. Thx Gil. Time will tell if he's correct - who said 5'7" 170 lbs is too small?
There is also a real chance that Jakeem gets a lot of media attention from the Undrafted TV show. I can see him becoming a crowd favorite.

There is definitely an edge to him...see a lot of Jarvis Landry in the way he works and his confidence, that right there will be enough to win over the fans (and making the occasional big play).
 
I knew that was him when I saw the trailer for that. Guess they filmed it before the draft. Hopefully it is just a prelude to an electric career.

between attitude and size, Grant is a young Steve Smith IMO
 
I wonder when it is going to air
 
I swear that was a legit 4.1 he ran at his pro day....... So someone was gonna take a shot at some point.

If he was even 5'9" he's a 3rd round pick. Easily.
 
The Steve Smith comparisons are a little ludicrous at this point in that they are both small and play with big hearts but that is about it. Steve Smith is one of the greatest receivers of all time, only time will tell if Jakeem can be half as great.
