Jerry Jeudy, WR, Alabama

Jerry Jeudy is considered the more polished receiver at this point in their careers due to his refined route running ability. It’s not often you see a junior in college with the ability to run routes like Jerry Jeudy.

He possesses elite foot quickness, is excellent at getting in and out of breaks, sets up defenders wonderfully, and is a technician when it comes to leveraging defensive backs.

Good luck trying to press him at the line of scrimmage.

At the combine he clocked in at a blazing 4.45 seconds in the forty, proving he has the long speed to take the lid of the defense.  Jeudy is a human highlight reel with the ball in his hands, defenders stand little chance when trying to take him down in the open field.

One of Jeudy’s greatest attributes may be his ability to play both on the outside and inside.  He has a unique ability to not only stretch the field vertically but also horizontally, which would be a fit in Jon Gruden’s offense.

Playing three seasons in Alabama’s offense, Jeudy gained experience playing in a pro style system, with a well developed route tree.  The transition to the NFL game should be smooth for him.
