Comparing how Henry Ruggs was used in college versus rookie season with Raiders

Heading into the 2020 NFL Draft, the Las Vegas Raiders were desperately looking for a number one wide receiver.

As a result, head coach Jon Gruden and general Manager Mike Mayock selected Alabama receiver Henry Ruggs III with the No. 12 overall pick, making his the first receiver selected in 2020. However, the rookie only managed to haul in 26 receptions for 452 yards and a couple of touchdowns in year one, falling short of the No. 1 status the organization had hoped for.

Injuries and a bout with COVID-19 certainly played a factor in his lack of production as he missed three games.
