For a program never known as a passing school, Alabama football has produced some great receivers. Former Crimson Tide receivers Don Hutson, Dennis Homan, David Bailey, Ray Perkins, Ozzie Newsome, Julio Jones and Amari Cooper are legendary.
Writing for CBS, Charlie Potter recently explained that never before has the Crimson Tide had four such productive wide receivers as it has in 2019. According to Potter, the closest the Crimson Tide has come was the 2016 season when three Alabama football receivers had over 1,000 career receiving yards; Calvin Ridley, Ardarius Stewart and O.J. Howard.
The 2019 Alabama Crimson Tide has four, career 1,000-yard receivers in Jerry Jeudy (1,887 yards), Henry Ruggs III (1,172 yards), Devonta Smith (1,090 yards) and Jaylen Waddle (1,002 yards.
