Jared Abbrederis | Wide Receiver | Wisconsin | 6'1" - 195 lbs.
 


OVERVIEW
Married. Last name is pronounced "ab-bruh-DAIR-is." Was a high school quarterback and defensive back in Wisconsin, where he won a state championship, wrestled and was the Gatorade track athlete of the year. Walked on and redshirted in 2009, working as a scout team spread quarterback. Earned a scholarship in '10 before playing all 13 games (two starts) and recording 20 receptions for 289 yards (14.4-yard average) and three touchdowns. Started all 14 games in '11 and posted 55-933-8 (17.0). Broke a bone in his left foot against South Dakota in Week Four -- was not diagnosed until after the season and he sat out '12 spring practice. In the fall, started 12-of-13 games and caught 49-837-5 (17.1). Sustained a concussion against Oregon State and did not play against Utah State. Also sustained a concussion against Penn State. Started 12-of-13 games in '13, totaling 78-1,081-7 (13.9) with six rushes for 119 yards (19.8) and two touchdowns. Did not start against Indiana (ribs). Did not play in the Senior Bowl (hamstring). Also returned 55 career punts for 587 yards (10.7), including a score, and 31 career kickoffs for 800 yards (25.8). Burlsworth Trophy winner as nation's best player to begin his career as a walk-on.


STRENGTHS Uses his hands well to swat away press. Stems his routes. Sells his patterns. Nice hands. Good field and boundary awareness. Gives effort to engage and shield cornerbacks as a blocker. Outstanding football intelligence -- like a quarterback on the outside. Productive three-year starter. Mature and humble. Hardworking and coachable. Carved up Ohio State CB Bradley Roby to the tune of 10-207-1.

WEAKNESSES Has a slender build and needs to bulk up and get stronger. Ordinary pop off the line. Builds to average speed. Could struggle to separate vs. quick-twitch covermen. Lets throws into his body and breaks stride to catch. Not a jumpball player (30 1/2-inch vertical jump). Straightlinish after the catch -- pedestrian agility and elusiveness. Has a history of concussions. Bench-pressed 225 pounds just four times, lowest of all combine participants.

DRAFT PROJECTION Rounds 4-5

BOTTOM LINE A former walk-on, Abbrederis went from afterthought to scholarship player to No. 1 receiver. While the blue-collar overachiever lacks exceptional athletic traits for the NFL, he's a steady "X" receiver whose hands and smarts could enable him to work his way into a No. 3 or No. 4 receiver role.

Jordy Nelson Jr.

I thought this was an exceptional pick here at the end of R5.

Seems like GB is preparing for life without some of the current receivers. I hope not but they seem to be gearing up just in case.

Ted must have some big ice flowing through those veins. He covered our asses very, very well here in this draft going into 2014...

Players he let walk:
Jenkins
Bishop
Colledge
Wells
Jennings
Woodson
Jones

Who am I forgetting?

Now we can look at more consistent growth of the money pie on a year by year basis. Not only will we have more room going forward, but deals that are 3 years old will start to look better and better in hindsight.

Just watched his plays vs Ohio St and Bradley Roby. Dude ate him up! Great route running. I can see now why some said he was getting dinged up a lot during the games. His QB left him hanging a lot by not hitting him in stride/forcing him to stop and readjust.
Under Construction!

I know I was against drafting Abbrederis but I'm more ok with it with the 5th comp than when I thought he would be a 3rd rounder but the guy just runs some freaking sick routes.

It looks like childs play for him sometimes facing those CBs.

I really hope this guy comes around as a returner as well. That would be great for us. Imagining a Wes Welker type there but with better decision making and ball security. I just worry about his size a little bit when taking on all those guys coming for him.

EDIT: watching that video is heartbreaking. the QB is just too unpolished. jared is open all day and he misses him in embarrassing fashion consistently

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."
