Can Jerry Jeudy Bounce Back and Help You Rest Easy?

Welcome to the Mad Titan’s reason on why you shouldn’t let Jerry Jeudy out of your sights, but do what you can to get him. Last year, with so much excitement surrounding Jerry Jeudy before the season started to the point where he was argued to be the best receiver in the draft. Does he still have the ability to be the best in the draft? Jeudy struggled big-time with catching the ball this past season, but is it enough to really shy away from him when we aren’t shying away from Diontae Johnson?

College Time for Jeudy

While in Alabama, he had 2,742 yards receiving, 26 TDs on 150 receptions in 36 games in three years. In 2017, Jeudy found himself sitting most of the season, because of an injury, playing only eight games and having to sit out due to an injury. In 2018, Jeudy was an absolute monster on the field where Jeudy had 68 receptions, 1315 yards, 14 TD in 15 games. Needless to say, he was very good in that offense . His drops started in 2019 where he dropped 7 passes. This obviously carried into his NFL start. I wouldn’t worry though; you will see why.

Jerry Jeudy Future Outlook

Jeudy is far from being as bad as we thought, even has a better rookie year than Hopkins. We have to look at this as a whole. The Broncos were riddled with injuries that not only affected the team as a whole, in addition, affected Jeudy. He did struggle with drops, however, let’s not act like those passes were all amazing and accurate, I think he can handle the pressure coming into his sophomore season, especially with him working on his ability to catch more. He will be able to handle WR1 status easily in the future in addition to being an amazing steal with his ability to cause separation and his amazing route-running skills. DO NOT avoid him in your draft.
