Henry Ruggs III recaps his biggest lesson from being at Alabama: “You have to always be on top of your game”

He is one of the top five receivers in this year’s NFL Draft class and for some analysts, Henry Ruggs III of Alabama is considered the best option. After fulfilling the dream of his fallen friend, Roderic Scott, Ruggs finished his career with the Crimson Tide as a fan favorite, the fastest weapon on the team, a Southeastern Conference Champion and a national champion.

Despite playing two years of football at Robert E. Lee High School in Montgomery, Ala. Ruggs grabbed a five-star rating and came to the Tide in its 2017 signing class. He totaled 98 career receptions – including 24 for touchdowns and made a name for himself with his elite speed.
