There’s a reason so many fantasy football fans are searching for “Jakeem Grant” after Thursday’s exhibition game between the Dolphins and Eagles, and you’re about to see why below.
Grant, who didn’t catch a single pass in his rookie season last year, appears ready for an upgraded role in 2017, judging by what he did in Thursday’s game.
He may only be five-foot-six, but he showed that he can be physical when he wants to, on one particular play in the third quarter. Grant caught a short pass, and then proceeded to break not one but two tackles. He was then off to the races and finished off the play with a touchdown — going 69 yards when it was all said and done.

Sure, it was a poor tackling job, but we can’t overlook Grant’s nice display of athleticism on that play.
