Malcolm Johnson sees Ruggs draft position as a sign of transition

Henry Ruggs III was the first wide receiver off the board in the 2020 NFL Draft when he was selected as the No. 12 overall pick and to one high school prospect, it shows the NFL game is changing.

“I think Henry Ruggs III being the first wide receiver shows how the game is transitioning to more of a speed-based league as far as wide receivers are concerned,” 2021 4-Star wide receiver, Malcolm Johnson said.

Similar to Ruggs’ time as a prospect, Johnson has made a name for himself on the recruiting trail as a speedy wideout.
