Alabama NFL Draft Prospects

Jerry Jeudy works out with a trio of NFL athletes, including Lamar Jackson

The state of Florida is immensely rich with football talent.  

Evidence to this statement was provided on Sunday, as a video surfaced to Twitter with Antonio Brown, Lamar Jackson, Marquise Brown and Jerry Jeudy working out. The trio of wide receivers and the NFL’s reigning MVP worked on route concepts and timing. With Jackson firing passes, the insane footwork of Jeudy, Brown and Brown took over. Once a five-star in the 2017 signing class at the University of Alabama, Jeudy ranks as an early first-round pick for the NFL Draft. 

He is regarded as the best receiver in the class and ended his career just five touchdown receptions shy of tying Amari Cooper (31) for most all-time in Crimson Tide history. 

Jeudy posted two consecutive 1,000-yard seasons in 2018 and 2019 – en route to winning the Fred Biletnikoff Award and consensus All-American honors as a sophomore. He stands fifth all-time for career receptions (159) and fourth in yards (2,742) for Alabama football. Jeudy is the fifth receiver of the Nick Saban era to record at least one 1,000-yard campaign, joining Cooper, Julio Jones, Calvin Ridley and DeVonta Smith (1,256, in 2019).

The 6-foot-1, 193-pounder turned in a time of 4.45 seconds in the 40-yard dash and performed well at the NFL Combine. 

He is about to be the next Floridian from the Tide that will dominate the league.
