What does Parry Nickerson bring to the Jets?

It seems like he’s a good football player. And his speed is a big plus. The only concern seems to be his size. I wonder if he’ll hold up against bigger WR’s.

Perhaps I'm missing something, but the draft site I often use for researching players has Denzel Ward listed at exactly 1/2 inch taller , and one pound heavier than Nickerson , with both players with the same forty time. I just don't get how they can make constant reference to Parry's lack of size the reason he lasted to the sixth round. That confuses me, especially when Denzel Ward never seems to have the "undersized " label pinned to him.

Thats an excellent point. I gotta believe its the level of competition and the OSU bias perhaps. Maybe he has answered that question in his tape against bigger wide-outs also.

That’s an interesting point. I was not aware that Denzel Ward was basically the same size. And Ward was widely praised as a near perfect CB this year. I never heard Kiper/McShay talk about Ward’s size being an issue.

I envision Nickerson as Skrine’s eventual replacement in that 3rd CB role. Buster has been frustrating to watch. Sometimes he looks great, and other times he looks bad.
