Raiders WR Henry Ruggs is making the leap.

The Las Vegas Raiders had two first-round picks in 2020, with one expected to be a wide receiver. The top three receivers in the draft were Ceedee Lamb, Jerry Jeudy, and Henry Ruggs.

Raiders were hoping to get their shot at one of three. On the draft night, the Raiders had the choice to select the one of their choosing. They left most fans in shock with the selection of Henry Ruggs.

The pressure was on Ruggs after the selection, especially with being pro-ready on day one. Ruggs was not pro-ready and needed out on weight and strength to reach his potential.
