Alabama’s Jaylen Waddle has officially made the wide receiver class in the 2021 NFL Draft even stronger -- and might represent the perfect fit for the New England Patriots.
Waddle is considered a top-tier talent at wide receiver and has been a popular projection for the Patriots at No. 15 overall in mock drafts.
After missing most of the 2020 college football season due to injury, Waddle officially declared for the draft Thursday. The receiver is considered one of the most dynamic deep threats in college football. However, he wound up missing much of the 2020 season due to a major ankle injury.
