Jerry Jeudy Joins Tua Tagovailoa and Signs With Patrick Mahomes' Agent
By Michael Luciano
The top receiver in the 2020 draft is already following his quarterback's lead, when it comes to picking an agent.
Alabama saw star quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and star wide receiver Jerry Jeudy leave school early, in anticipation of the fact they will be selected early in the 2020 NFL draft. Jeudy and Tagovailoa have already signed with agent Leigh Steinberg, who also represents Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

Jeudy won the Biletnikoff Award as the top receiver in college football in 2018. While his production dropped slightly this year, NFL scouts were still giddy to see Jeudy catch 77 passes for 1,163 yards and 10 touchdowns from Tua and Mac Jones.
His route-running, change of direction skills, and explosiveness off the line of scrimmage are astonishing for a 6-3 wideout, and it's clear why Jeudy has earned every drop of hype.

Jeudy is a lock to go in the first round, and is almost assuredly going to be the first wide receiver taken in what could be a legendary 2020 class. Expect the former Tide wideout to rack up the Pro Bowls, just like Amari Cooper and Julio Jones before him.
