Sounds like purely a slot guy. Good to have another WR with some experience. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000691593/article/lions-trade-wideout-jeremy-kerley-to-49ers .... http://www.prideofdetroit.com/2016/3/22/11284608/jeremy-kerley-scouting-profile-a-limited-but-effective-slot-receiver However, he does have a pretty big limitation, and that's his play downfield. Kerley has issues getting open on any vertical routes, as his straight-line speed isn't all that impressive (4.62 40-yard dash time at the combine). Physical cornerbacks tend to get him off his game, which is why the Jets almost never used him as an outside receiver. Kerley also brings a lot of punt return experience to the Lions. Looking around, Kerley has received much criticism for fair catching the ball too often. Indeed, Kerley finished sixth in the league with 19 fair catches. But considering he also finished second in punt return yards and 14th in yards per return among qualifying players, you take the good with the bad. Overall, Kerley is a shifty receiver with more-than-reliable hands. Just don't expect him to stretch the field vertically.

Coaches made the right choice.

Does have a little to do with who's throwing to him

So is Kerley strictly a slot guy? Is our own Trent Taylor strictly a slot guy?

Yes. But that doesn't mean they can't line up outside but that would be their primary starting point.

Kerley has played pretty much his entire career in the slot. Taylor is too small to play anywhere but the slot. The two kind of cancel each other out.
