Former Alabama wide receiver Jaylen Waddle is about to enter the 2021 NFL draft as one of the top performers from his positional class.
NFL draft analyst Chad Reuter broke down what Waddle has to offer and give some impressive player comparisons.
Reuter believes Waddle has the ability to be similar to Antonio Brown or T.Y. Hilton in the league.
However, the analyst also points out that teams may be hesitant to draft him in the top 10, due to the fractured ankle he suffered mid-season against Tennessee.
Aside from his injury, the only downside to Waddle’s game, according to Reuter, is his poor run blocking abilities.
Other than that, he explains how Waddle performs well for his smaller size, can run routes well, catch nearly anything and can extend plays after the catch.
