Dortch leaving for NFL

CreamyGoodness said:
Great to see everyone else is figuring out how good he is. Wake fans who watched him play for 3 years had zero doubts he'd make it

We watched him play for 2 years. Should've been 3. Claw goofed on that one.

Oh yeah, that's right. He learned the hard way with Bates and Dortch. Need to not redshirt skill players moving forward. DL and OL benefit most from the extra year.
 
Just hope he can stay healthy. Forget kick off concentrate of punt returns and receiving
 
From The Athletic:

"Dortch had his best practice of camp Tuesday, catching three passes during the first-team drill. He’s starting to come along on offense."

Moved back up to the 2nd team on Tuesday
 
PFF in on Dortch, too:

NEW YORK JETS
1. Sam Darnold ranked as just our 29th-highest-graded passer last season (of 38 qualifiers) but also ranked second-best across the final four weeks of the season.

2A. Le’Veon Bell leads all players all-time in fantasy points per game (21.9).
2B. Okay, sure, but he also hasn’t played football in a year-and-a-half and now has a head coach who didn’t even want to sign him.
2C. A head coach who wants to monitor Bell’s usage, concerned Bell (who averaged 10.4 snaps per game more than any other running back from 2013 to 2017) doesn’t get “fatigued” or “worn down.”
2D. A head coach whose offense has ranked 31st, 29th, 31st, and 27th in pace of play in game-neutral situations over the past four years.
2E. A head coach who… Well, you get the picture.

3. (Stretching our definitions of “fact” again.) Undrafted rookie Greg Dortch needs to be owned in all dynasty leagues.

Pretty long piece on Dortch, including the full punctured intestine story, some Wake highlights, Jets drills, etc... Starts at about 9 minutes in ...

 
Nice video. I notice he's wearing a Birmingham bowl shirt.
 
Great video. Starts at 9:50. Noticed he was wearing a halter monitor with "Catapult" on it. Is that the same system we're using at Wake this fall training camp?
 
 
Current Jets roster projection

https://www.espn.com/blog/new-york-...ection-includes-potential-shake-up-on-defense

WIDE RECEIVER (6): Robby Anderson, Quincy Enunwa, Jamison Crowder, Joshua Bellamy, Charone Peake, Greg Dortch

The front office is looking for a veteran WR4 or WR5 who can return punts and/or kickoffs. They had that guy in Andre Roberts, but they let him bolt to the Buffalo Bills. Bad decision. Bellamy, Peake and Dortch stick because of special teams. Deontay Burnett (team-high nine catches) is having a respectable preseason, but there's no room at the inn because Dortch is the only legitimate punt returner. The Jets are in trouble if there's an injury among the top three. In a pinch, they can use Montgomery, a former wideout.
 
On his radio show last night Clawson said that he wasn't going to stand in the way of Dortch's decision to leave early for the NFL and that he would never bet against Dortch making a roster even when he wasn't drafted.

Clawson said that Dortch was smart to pursue the Jets as a free agent as they needed a punt returner.... and added that he wished we still had him this season.
