Draft Profile: Bio
Jaden Platt from Eaton High School was rated a 4-star recruit by ESPN and handed a 4-star grade by 247 Sports. After high school, Platt opted to join Texas A&M.In 2023 as a freshman Platt saw action in just 3 games for the Aggies as he made 2 receptions for just 52 yards for an average of 26.0 yards per reception, with one TD, and an excellent QB rating when targeted of 158.3.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Looks to get involved downfield and will block multiple defenders on a single play when Platt can. Understands his role as a blocker.
- He’s coordinated with soft, reliable hands, and he shows the ability to adjust to balls thrown behind him, as well as a knack for digging out low throws.
- He’s lanky and long-armed, but he has the broad-shouldered frame to carry more weight. Platt was a national high-jump champion in high school, and that athleticism translates to the passing game.
- A fluid mover capable of creating some separation over the middle of the field, he has the long arms and soft hands to provide a sizable catch radius.
- Soft, reliable hands center the big target for quarterbacks. Shields the defense and will let the ball into his pads to protect it when about to absorb a big hit over the middle.
- Good strength and effort to run through arm tackles.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- And he’ll need to become a sharper route runner, especially on option routes, to create separation at the intermediate level.
- He’s largely a non-factor downfield, and Platt had issues with drops when running behind a defensive back and tracking the ball. More quick than fast, he won’t always be able to run away from NFL defensive backs.
- He’ll also have to adjust to getting his head around to locate the ball on shorter routes over the middle.
