Jamaal Charles Analysis
The one thing you can’t question about Jamaal Charles is his speed. In addition to being a football star in high school, he was also a track star. His speed in the open field is extremely impressive. That said, at 6-foot-1 and 206 pounds, Charles needs to get bigger to thrive in the NFL level. Right now, he’d get beat up after a few games.
Jamaal Charles Fantasy Projections
The NFL team that drafts Jamaal Charles will likely do so to put him in a backup role in his rookie season. Due to his speed, he could possibly be a return man on the NFL level. In 2008, Charles shouldn’t have too much value in fantasy football. However, in a couple years he could find himself as a starter if he continues to prove doubters wrong.
