He has not gone anywhere, but Jerry Jeudy was in a terrible slump.
In the matchups that followed Duke and New Mexico State, the junior at wide receiver did not look like Alabama’s No. 1 option. The growing confidence of DeVonta Smith and Henry Ruggs III had something to do with it, and Tua Tagovailoa loves spreading the wealth to everyone.
However, for someone who projects as a top-five draft pick, it was weird seeing Jeudy not collect a 100-yard performance in five games and go three games without scoring a touchdown.
Both happened and while Ceedee Lamb was putting on a show at Oklahoma, a few NFL Draft analysts felt he should be top receiver in next year’s venue.
