Henry Ruggs III writes emotional letter to Alabama Nation

Alabama’s junior WR Henry Ruggs III decided to write it all an emotional and heartwarming letter.

Some players decide to post their choice to declare for the NFL Draft on Instagram and twitter, while some have press conferences. But Alabama’s junior WR Henry Ruggs III decided to write it all in an emotional and heartwarming letter.

The letter, which was published by The Players Tribune, made me cry, and I have no doubt it’ll inspire and encourage you.

Ruggs has not only had a tremendous impact on the field, he has encouraged SO many with his testimony and story of overcoming so many obstacles, including losing his best friend in a tragic car accident.

There’s no doubt in my mind that Ruggs will have huge success in the NFL. His speed, skill set, and passion are what sets him apart, and makes him the incredible athlete he is.

Ruggs said it best himself,

“But sometimes, if you’re lucky and you work hard, and you have some faith, it really does turn out for the best. And now that I’ve officially made my decision to declare for the draft and enter the NFL, I can’t wait to do everything in my power to make sure that that’s exactly what happens.”
