Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy and Pro Football Hall of Famer Terrell Owens are now in the same conversation.
In fact, Jeudy broke a record held by Owens in his massive 235-yard outburst against the Denver Broncos under the lights of Monday Night Football. Those 235 yards are the most receiving yards in a game against a player’s former team in NFL history.
Owens previously held the mark at 213 yards receiving for the Dallas Cowboys against his former team, the Philadelphia Eagles. That mark was set by the Hall of Famer in 2008, and now Jeudy has smashed that mark with his performance.
Now sitting at 880 yards receiving on the season, Jeudy is well on his way to his first career 1,000-yard receiving season of his career in his first year with the Browns. He is making their decision to get ahead of his market and extend him early to look like a smart one.
Can Jeudy keep up his torrid pace this weekend against the Steelers?
