He has more motivation entering the NFL Draft, as if he needed it.
After fulfilling the dream of his fallen best friend to play football in high school and college, Henry Ruggs III is about to take on the professional ranks. He anticipates hearing his name called early on Thursday night, especially after the career he had with the Crimson Tide.
Once a five-star from Montgomery, Ala., Ruggs came in Alabama’s 2017 signing class and immediately made an impact as the team’s leader in touchdown catches (six). He started the comeback victory over Georgia in the 2018 College Football Playoff National Championship matchup with a score from Tua Tagovailoa.
