Could we see a former Alabama football wide receiver on the move before the NFL trade deadline?

Jerry Jeudy, a first-round selection in the 2020 NFL Draft, is not happy with the Denver Broncos. He did not generate the production he wanted in his first three seasons, and the same is happening now. The South Florida native has his name tossed into trade talks, and according to Matt Lombardo of Fan Buzz, the Broncos expect to trade Jeudy before the deadline.

He has 17 catches for 208 yards in four games. Jeudy’s totaled 174 career receptions for 2,503 yards and nine touchdowns.

The Indianapolis Colts are interested in getting Jeudy from the Broncos.

Destin Adams, a Colts beat writer for A to Z Sports, reported on Indianapolis having interest in Jeudy. The Colts have a young quarterback — Anthony Richardson — and pairing him with Jeudy could help his development.

Jeudy came to the University of Alabama as a five-star in 2017.

He earned the Fred Biletnikoff Award in 2018 and was a two-time 1,000-yard receiver. Jeudy helped the Crimson Tide to a College Football Playoff National Championship in 2017 and an SEC Championship in 2018.
