Jeudy hasn't exactly been a bust since the Broncos made him the 15th overall pick in 2020, but the fact that he was selected ahead of players such as Justin Jefferson, CeeDee Lamb, and Tee Higgins (among others) doesn't cast his first two seasons in the NFL in a favorable light. In fairness, his sophomore campaign got off to a tough start when he suffered a high ankle sprain in Week 1 that would keep him out until Halloween. He was decent upon returning but wound up averaging a modest 3.8 receptions for 46.7 yards last year while failing to score a touchdown.
Of course, the elephant in the room is the quarterback play. How big of a part did catching balls from the likes of Drew Lock, Teddy Bridgewater, and Brett Rypien have in the underwhelming start to Jeudy's career? Well, we're about to find out, because Wilson is a legit NFL quarterback who produced across multiple incarnations of wide receiver rooms in Seattle. He's long been considered one of the best deep ball throwers in the league, and the move to the thin air in Denver should only accentuate that.
Jeudy entered the NFL regarded as a polished route runner, and he has the speed to get deep, which is a facet of his game that has rarely been seen since leaving Alabama. Expect a far more productive Jeudy in 2022, making him a solid WR3 with top-15 upside -- of note, this projection anticipates Jeudy won't face NFL discipline for a May arrest after the charges were summarily dismissed.

Domestic violence situation
By: Mike Krueger | Thu May 12, 3:37 pm
|  | Professional football player Jerry Jeudy has been arrested by Arapahoe Co sheriff deputies. He's being held at the Arapahoe Co jail on charges of 2nd degree criminal tampering w/a domestic violence enhancer, a misdemeanor. He's on a no bond hold. He's innocent until proven guilty. (Arapahoe Sheriff on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Hard to know at this point what his means for Jeudy and his status with Broncos. More to come as information becomes available.
