Denver Broncos fans see wide receiver Jerry Jeudy’s brilliant route running on game days, and we’ve all seen his impressive workout videos.
What we don’t see is the work Jeudy does in the film room. There’s much more to football than just the physical aspect. Jeudy’s also mastering the mental aspect, and quarterback Russell Wilson has noticed and appreciates the receiver’s diligence.
“What I love is how our receivers sit in the front of the room, taking notes and highlighting,” Wilson said on July 27. “Jerry Jeudy was in our QB meeting for an hour just for fun and just to listen and just to study and understand it all. That’s a credit to him and his work ethic.
“When you have guys like that and your best players put that type of work in, that just rises everyone else to be better. It’s so great to see that and experience that.”
Jeudy’s a first-round talent but he hasn’t quite lived up to his first-round draft status through two seasons. He was hindered by injuries and poor quarterback play last year, but Jeudy’s healthy again now and he’ll be playing with a future Hall of Famer in Wilson this season. All that should add up to a big year for the receiver entering his third season in the league.
