He played next to a Heisman Trophy winner as his teammate at Alabama, but Jaylen Waddle is prepared to show NFL teams that he’s the best wide receiver in this year’s draft class.
If not for an ankle injury versus Tennessee last season, the native Texan might have won the Heisman. He was dominant through the Crimson Tide’s first four games, totaling 25 receptions for 557 yards with four touchdowns. Waddle posted 100-plus yards receiving in each of the Tide’s first four games while averaging over 20 yards per catch. His unfortunate injury caused him to miss seven games; however, Waddle returned for the College Football Playoff National Championship matchup against Ohio State.
