The most electrifying wide receiver in the draft has been selected.
Jaylen Waddle provided Alabama football fans with joy in his three seasons. He recorded 106 career receptions, including 17 for touchdowns.
A native of Houston, Texas, Waddle had 20 career scores (three on special teams) and the Miami Dolphins decided to select him at No. 6 overall. Brian Flores has reunited Waddle with his former Crimson Tide teammate, Tua Tagoavailoa.
The 5-foot-10, 182-pounder brings instant offense and will be fun to watch in the pros.
He becomes the sixth wide receiver that Saban has put in the first round since 2011.
