Picture this, Alabama will have Jaylen Waddle for at least two more years.
When your nickname from teammates all summer was “human joystick,” one has to recognize the natural talent you possess. People around the Crimson Tide’s football program knew the native Texan and elite receiver prospect was good; however, it may have been under sold too.
After seeing a couple his scoring attempts get negated due to penalties, Waddle had fans rejoicing inside Bryant-Denny Stadium as he recorded Alabama’s third touchdown of the matchup versus Louisiana.
His speed combined with vision, footwork and comfortability in space with the ball led to a 63-yard return on a punt in the first quarter.
