Jerry Jeudy sounds off on critics who question his lateral quickness

He knows that speed is not his game, and Jerry Jeudy is fine with it.

The native Floridian has not earned a potential high first-round grade off speed; he’s earned it by his route-running, secure hands and having the concepts to offset defensive backs on his routes.

After being a juke-moving machine in high school, the former five-star took those traits to Alabama and perfected them. He twice posted 1,000-plus receiving yards in three years, including 1,163 yards with 10 touchdowns in 2019. Jeudy was a national champion, All-American and Fred Biletnikoff Award winner with the Crimson Tide.
