I've actually been able to contain him in the games I've encountered him. Might just be that the people using him weren't using him wisely though and just kept trying to throw deep bombs to him.
I know on the team I have Jerry on he is primarily a decoy. I hardly ever throw him the ball unless I see that his is one-on-one then I air it out. He will have like 3 catches for 133 yards, lol.
