His excellent balance and knee bend allows him to maintain a naturally wide base, which is crucial in an offensive lineman. After a rigorous offseason, Chakshing is eager to showcase his hard work and undeniable physicality throughout the upcoming evaluation period.

His attributes include a rapid release off the line of scrimmage, low pad level, and one-step cuts that contribute to his ability to burst into routes. His top-end speed and elusiveness allow him to create significant separation from defenders. Jeremiah's extraordinary ball skills, comfort in running various routes, and willingness to block make him a player that college coaches will closely monitor.
