John Elway drafted wide receiver Jerry Jeudy in the 2020 NFL draft, a distinction that symbolized the then-general manager’s lasting legacy with the team — Jeudy was Elway’s last first-round pick as the team’s GM.
Now Elway’s an outside consultant, while his handpicked man George Paton is the team’s GM. Since Jeudy entered the league, though, he has displayed ups and downs. There’ll always be peaks and valleys.
The receiver totaled 52 receptions on 113(!) targets as a rookie for 856 yards and three touchdowns in 16 games (14 starts). Drew Lock was his QB. The production in his first year in the league with a second-year QB led to the fantasy football cognoscenti touting Jeudy as the next Year 2 breakout WR the following season.
