In order to learn more about this guy, I reached out to SB Nation’s Stanford blog: Rule Of Tree. Cardinal writer Jack Blanchat (@jackblanchat) was kind enough to answer my questions.1) Let’s start with the most important question: how do we refer to guy when it comes to a nickname? JJ? JJAW? Cuervo? Some Eagles fans have suggested “Sega.”Really need some help here.The one that seemed to stick with the Stanford faithful was JAWS, but there was also a little traction for Arcegatron, which I enjoy a lot. Apparently his Stanford teammates called him Spider, which seems apt too.[BLG Note: Here’s a look at our nickname poll results from earlier this week.]2) Can you sum up what his college career was like?JJ’s breakout moment was a game-winning touchdown catch with 24 seconds left to beat Josh Rosen’s UCLA team. In an ugly game, he ripped the ball out of the sky and put quite an exclamation point on that game. I think it occurred to me at some point last year that he was the best receiver Stanford has had at least since Doug Baldwin, and he was a more polished player coming out of college than Doug was (although I will qualify that by saying they are very different players who excel in different ways). He never seemed to dominate games as a junior, but always made great plays, and this year Brandon Brooks Jersey , he took that next leap. He was just too big, too strong, and his hands were too secure for college DBs to stop. 3) What are his strengths?JJ puts DBs on posters. The tape really does the talking: JJ wins down the field, on jump balls, in single coverage, and in the red zone. He’s not super fast, but fast enough to be a problem, because he has a huge frame and a massive catch radius. He has really strong hands, so just give him a chance to catch the ball and he’ll pull it down. I think Stanford sometimes forgot that he was a solid route runner and turned to him too much as a jump-ball guy http://www.eagleslockerroom.com/authentic-malik-jackson-jersey , but he never let the team down when they needed him to come up with a big catch. He also is really poised, mature and easygoing, and his Stanford teammates clearly enjoyed playing with him. He’s soft-spoken and lets his big play stand for itself. He reminds me a lot of Zach Ertz, who has obviously been a great fit in Philly.4) What are his weaknesses?I don’t know that he has the speed to run away from NFL DBs, and technically, he’s probably not the sharpest route-runner, but I don’t know that it matters a lot because of where he wins on the field. If a coach is taking a guy with his skill sets and making him run crossing routes, that’s kind of a problem. 5) Are you surprised where he was drafted? Higher or lower than expected? Just right?I think this is just about right. He does what he does, he does it well Womens Timmy Jernigan Jersey , and I don’t know that he has the athletic profile that teams fall in love over, so mid-2nd round seems right for a guy with his impressive resume.6) How do you see his NFL career playing out?JJ has all the talent needed to be a powerful red-zone threat for years to come. I think he’s ready to be a starter for the Eagles, because he has a little bit of that Zach Ertz-like game, where he can be counted on to catch the ball on big downs, and he’s just a problem to handle in the endzone. Not sure what his career arc past five years or so will look like, but he’s got the work ethic to refine his game for whatever comes. 7) Anything to know about him off the field? He’s a super interesting guy with a great backstory - his family is filled with incredible athletes. I’m just going to copy-paste from his Stanford profile page:Highlights:Film reviews:Spider graph:Relative athletic score:RELATED READINGS:Stop worrying about JJ Arcega-Whiteside’s fit with the EaglesEagles Film Room: Grading JJ Arcega-Whiteside The Jacksonville Jaguars will be without Pro Bowl cornerback A.J. Bouye against Philadelphia in London on Sunday.The Jaguars (3-4) ruled Bouye out Thursday, saying he did not make the overseas trip. The team also will be without backup cornerback Tyler Patmon because of a neck injury. Patmon also remained in Jacksonville.Cornerback D.J. Hayden (toe) made the flight, but he's unlikely to play because of a lingering toe injury. Hayden has missed five consecutive games and hasn't practiced since Sept. 21.Bouye missed practice Thursday after sustaining a calf injury in drills the day before.Without them, the Jaguars will have three undrafted rookie cornerbacks to play alongside All-Pro Jalen Ramsey.Tre' Herndon or fellow undrafted rookie Quenton Meeks is expected to start Stefen Wisniewski Jersey , and newly signed Dee Delaney will serve as a backup. Meeks started the season on the practice squad, and Delaney was promoted to the 53-man roster Thursday. The team placed linebacker Donald Payne (knee) on IR."I'm definitely looking forward to it," said Meeks, a former starter at Stanford. "It's a chance to fill in for A.J. I'm just trying to fill in and do my job until he gets back healthy and everything like that. I have to step in and do what I have to do. I'm just preparing like I would all the time. I've worked my whole life for this."Meeks is the son of former Indianapolis Colts defensive coordinator Ron Meeks, who coached in the NFL between 1991 and 2012.
