The full breakdown
Spears-Jennings logged 22 snaps on special teams, finishing with a net-negative 56.9 grade primarily due to a costly penalty. In the first quarter (Q1 05:50), he was flagged for offensive holding on a kickoff return, wiping out positive field position and backing up the offense. He rebounded in the third quarter (Q3 02:43) on kickoff coverage, filling downhill into the return lane to combine with Bruener for a tackle at the CIN 36. However, with 20 otherwise neutral reps, the -2.0 penalty heavily weighed down his overall evaluation.
Strengths
- Downhill kickoff coverage
- Sound wrap-up tackling
Weaknesses
- Return-phase blocking discipline
- Drive-stalling penalty
