Heading into his sophomore season in the NFL, former Alabama wide receiver Jerry Jeudy is looking to have an even bigger impact on his team and the league than he did as a rookie.
Jeudy, drafted No. 15 overall in 2020 to the Denver Broncos, played in all 16 games of his rookie season, ut only reeled in 52 receptions for 856 yards and three touchdowns.
Many speculated as to how he went from being the nation’s best college wide receiver to an average NFL receiver. Some blamed Alabama for not developing professional-level talent, others blamed the Broncos quarterback Drew Lock.
Regardless of the reasoning, Jeudy has something to prove in 2021.
NFL Network national correspondent James Palmer recently reported on Broncos training camp and claimed that Jeudy was “the star” of the show.
He says that teammates are seeing the same level of confidence in Jeudy that was seen at Alabama.
How do Courtland Sutton, Jerry Jeudy and rookie RB Javonte Williams look early in camp? Williams was considered by the Broncos as the best back in the draft. They really like him. The other two are stars. My report on @nflnetwork at #broncos camp pic.twitter.com/QPBlLAycoG
