Former Alabama wide receiver Jerry Jeudy didn’t surprise many with his decision to declare for the 2020 NFL Draft after his junior season and to forgo his senior year of eligibility.
The move seemed to have paid off, as Jeudy has been draft by the Broncos at No. 15 overall, making him the second receiver to be taken off the board.
Denver is getting the 2018 Biletnikoff award-winner who has taken over the country with his quickness, impressive route running and his surreal elusiveness after the catch.
In his three seasons at Alabama, Jeudy totaled 159 receptions for 2,742 yards and 26 touchdowns.
Jeudy has been compared to elite talent from Antonio Brown to Julio Jones. Though now that he is in the NFL, he can begin to make a name for himself, and his journey will begin with the Denver Broncos
Jeudy, alongside other high-level receiver talent at Alabama, gave fans quite the show while catching passes from Tua Tagovailoa. He now looks to improve upon the foundation that was set while playing under Nick Saban and do it with his new quarterback, Drew Lock, and head coach, Vic Fangio.
We look forward to seeing what Jerry Jeudy will do in the future as one of the next great receivers to come out of the University of Alabama.
