6 takeaways from the WR Workouts at the 2020 NFL Combine

The NFL Combine offered the Philadelphia Eagles and head coach Doug Pederson and up-close view of some dazzling wide receivers putting their skills on display.

Alabama’s Henry Ruggs made himself millions, clocking a 4.27 40-yard dash at Lucas Oil Stadium. Ruggs didn’t break John Ross’s record of 4.22, but he definitely ensured he won’t be available for the Eagles at pick No. 21.

With several guys helping and hurting themselves, here are five takeaways from the wide receiver portion of the NFL Combine.

***

1. Eagles will need to trade up to land Jerry Jeudy, CeeDee Lamb or Henry Ruggs III.

Ruggs III blazed a blistering 4.28 40-yard dash on his first attempt at Lucas Oil Field, further cementing his status as a legit top-10 talent.

Ruggs time was officially changed to 4.27.

 

Jeudy is a polished route-runner and pass-catcher with a game that’s ideally suited for the No. 1 receiver spot in the NFL.

 

Lamb is an athletic playmaker with outstanding ball skills who is set to become a monster in the NFL.   Lamb combines his exceptional pass-catching skills with big-play skills and the ability to turn a short play into a score.
