Former Alabama wide receiver Henry Ruggs III is having quite the game after missing the past two weeks due to an injured hamstring. His speed, route running and hands are all on full display today.
After an impressive 46-yard catch in the first quarter to help set up a field goal, Ruggs has scored his first NFL touchdown.
It wasn’t a goal-line play, it wasn’t a short pass. It was a 72-yard touchdown that put the NFL on notice.
Ruggs wasted no time turning on the jets after catching the pass and leaving numerous defenders in the dust, yards behind as he run into the endzone for six.
You can watch his first touchdown reception below:
