One of Alabama’s many star receivers, Henry Ruggs, announced he will be foregoing his Senior season and enter the 2020 NFL Draft.
Ruggs had an amazing career with the Crimson Tide and capped his collegiate career off with a very impressive 2019 season.
Let’s take a look at what made him and this season a special one:
5. 74-yard TD catch vs. Southern Miss.

Despite it being the middle of the first quarter, this was actually Ruggs’ second touchdown catch of the game. In this play, he flashes his speed two separate times. It’s clear he blew past the defensive back to be open for the pass, and then as he nears the goal line, he turns the burners on and gains even more separation.
