Jerry Jeudy, Alabama WR

First came Amari Cooper. Then there was Calvin Ridley. Next up, Jerry Jeudy? The four-star recruit is already drawing the comparison thanks to a sensational spring capped by a breakout performance in Alabama’s A-Day game. He caught five passes 134 yards with two scores to earn MVP honors for the game. It’s worth noting that with the way the Crimson Tide divvied up its players for its spring game, Jeudy was mostly playing against backups. Still, his display was enough to impress Ridley, Alabama’s top returning receiver. ā€œI think Jerry is like me when I first got here,ā€ Ridley said. Given that Ridley caught 89 passes for 1,045 yards as a true freshman in 2015, a remake from Jeudy would be just fine. With Ridley, Cam Sims, Trevon Diggs, Robert Foster and three other four- or five-star recruits in Alabama’s 2017 haul, competition for catches will be fierce. But if Jeudy keeps garnering comparisons to Ridley, he’ll be impossible to keep off of the field.
