Former Alabama and current Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs III recorded his first ever NFL reception with an impressive 45 yard catch. The catch set up a 1 yard rushing touchdown for former Alabama running back Josh Jacobs, which just so happened to be the first touchdown in Las Vegas Raiders’ history.
Even in just one game, Ruggs has proven to be a huge offensive asset for the Raiders offense, with his incredible speed, footwork, and vision.
And as you can see in this play, Ruggs is proving himself to be worth every penny of his contract, and worthy of being the Raiders’ first round (12th overall) pick of the 2020 NFL Draft.
