Measureables: 6′ 195 LBs
Jeff Gladney Jr. REALLY loves to compete. Every play you see him on the field he has high energy and juice in his legs. He is a good size for a corner with great speed but more importantly, incredible quickness. Gladney can change direction at will and mirror receivers all day. He is a willing tackler and loves to get into the mix on tackles. Has great leverage through routes and doesn’t bite on much.
