Former Alabama star wide receiver Jerry Jeudy had no idea that when he posted a picture on his Instagram story, that it would go viral on social media. But it did, and for good reasons.
Jeudy, who attended Deerfield Beach High School in Deerfield Beach, Florida, shared in the post, how he slept in a garage at one of his coach’s house, and now has a home of his own.
Motivational purposes only 💯

When Jeudy was signed by the Denver Broncos as the15th overall pick of the 2020 NFL Draft, he signed a contract reported to be worth around $11.9 million dollars, with an $8.6 million dollar signing bonus.
So of course, a house would be on the list for anyone to buy. After all, he’s worked hard for it.
Even former Alabama teammate Trevon Diggs commented on the photo:
One Of The Hardest Workers I Know 🖤 @jerryjeudy https://t.co/mQ2sEo6NaQ

A hard worker is definitely who Jerry Jeudy is.
Jeudy, who is known for his quick feet, and ability to break free and make big plays did just that for the Alabama Crimson Tide, and will no doubt have do the same for Denver.
He’s been posting videos of his off-season training and route running on YouTube.
It’s one of the many ways Jeudy is showing his skill, but also his hard work ethic as he enters his rookie season in the NFL.
Last season, he recorded 77 receptions for 1,163 yards and 10 TDs.
In his career at Alabama, he finished with 159 receptions for 2,742 yards and 26 touchdowns.
His rookie season is going to be incredible to watch.
