is a very underrated route runner, every route Gist runs is very crisp. Standing at 6’2” he can make a ton of separation off the line and will burn the defender. As I evaluate Jayden’s film, he has shown strong hands and is very elusive. Jayden excels in the intermediate and short yardage plays but makes the most of it. This upcoming season, I want to see Jayden used as a deep threat due to his size and great hands. Jayden is a prospect with a ton of upside but he still needs to work on his release and route tree and I believe once he gets all that down his rankings will not only go up but he will be a scary opponent to line up against.

Gist’s highlights show that he has strong playmaking ability, body control, and the physicality to finish through contact. There’s a few plays where his concentration at the point of catch stands out. Gist comes down with a few contested passes. I think Gist adjusts well to zone coverage and knows how to leverage his frame against defenders. He’ll need to continue developing burst off the line and quicker transitions in and out of breaks.
