Jets signed Louisville WR Caullin Lacy.
Lacy (5’9”/183) is an undersized receiver who ran a 4.55 40-yard dash at the Combine. A sixth-year prospect who plays primarily from the slot, Lacy spent the first four seasons of his career at South Alabama. His career 7.1 ADOT is one of the lowest you’ll see of any receiver in the draft, and he saw 64 of his 82 targets in 2025 come on short throws (0-9 yard ADOT) or passes behind the line of scrimmage. His career 7.4 YAC/RAC and career missed tackles forced rate of 26.5 percent are solid, but also speak to how he gained most of his yards in college. Lacy is a highly experienced return man, which will likely give him his best chance at making an NFL roster. For his career, he returned 86 punts for 936 yards and three touchdowns, and returned another 34 kickoffs for 831 yards and another score. In 2023 and 2025, he led his conference in punt return yards. It wouldn’t be surprising to see Lacy make a roster as a special teams ace, but he’s likely a long way from ever offering any contribution on offense.
