Former Alabama star wide receiver Jerry Jeudy has had a frustrating rookie season with the Denver Broncos after being selected with the No. 15 overall pick in the 2020 NFL draft.
The Crimson Tide product reeled in 52 passes for 856 yards and three touchdowns. Not too impressive.
However, some are pointing blame at Jeudy’s lack of production in year No. 1 on the Brocnos starting quarterback, former SEC product at Missouri, Drew Lock.
There definitely seems to be some insecurity when it comes to Lock being the team’s starter in 2021, but Jeudy has now added onto that stress.
The constantly swirling rumors surrounding disgruntled Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson and his inevitable trade have now picked up a gust of wind and is blowing toward Denver.
Jeudy was a guest on a radio show, Bart and Hahn, and may have slipped up by saying he’d be very open to the possibilty of having Watson join the team.
#Broncos Kareem Jackson isn't only one talking about Deshaun Watson. Jerry Jeudy when asked on @BartAndHahn about QB. "It would be exciting to have Deshaun Watson there. You know he’s a great quarterback. He’s had a great career at Houston. We are looking forward to a decision.” pic.twitter.com/TgIm4H2etA

Whether this is a slip up or not is arbitrary, it’s not uncommon for a player to think Watson is better than Lock.
