Jerry Jeudy‘s plane has waited on the runway long enough.
After an injury cost him six games last season, the third-year WR is ready to take off. And Sports Illustrated’s Conor Orr agrees. He pegs Jeudy as a candidate to make his first Pro Bowl this season.
“Watch Jeudy’s first career touchdown, which came against the Jets in 2020,” Orr wrote on NFL.com. “This was a deep ball thrown by Brett Rypien into the upper-chest area of an opposing defender. Jeudy cared not, swiped it over the defender’s back and walked into the end zone. Imagine this kind of ball-tracking ability put to good use, with one of the best deep-ball quarterbacks of the modern NFL era.
