Best WR coming out of the draft hands down. @joebrouss

Sheesh, all corners he goes up against can say ‘bye bye’ to their ankles 😳

Not everyone was impressed.
I hate to be THAT guy, but nah, I've seen bigger receivers with better feet. His feet aren't that impressive

Easy to defend, lay off 3 yards. All his moves happen within 1 yard. Ill cover that all day and twice on Sunday.

No matter what you do, there’s always going to be somebody that’s not impressed. It’d be fun to watch those two critics try to cover Jeudy.
Jeudy’s workout video was picked up by all the major national media outlets, including ESPN, who re-posted the clip on their website.
After being selected by the Broncos in the first round of this year’s draft, Jeudy will serve as Denver’s No. 2 wide receiver this season behind Pro Bowler Courtland Sutton. Those two WRs — plus second-round pick KJ Hamler — should make quarterback Drew Lock’s life easy this season.
