Entering his fourth season with the Denver Broncos, wide reciever Jerry Jeudy will aim to take a big step forward in 2023.
Jeudy has been hindered by injuries and poor quarterback play through his first three years with the Broncos. Now healthy again, Jeudy will likely benefit from new coach Sean Payton coaching up quarterback Russell Wilson this fall.
As for Jeudy himself, Payton gave the receiver a positive review after the team wrapped up organized team activities last week.
“He’s explosive,” Payton said on June 8. “I remember him coming out and certainly seeing film of him playing. Now, having a chance to work directly with him, he’s very explosive. He’s got extremely loose hips, which allows him to transition well. There’re the nuances of the game, relative to landmarks, and the exactness of the passing game. All of those things, he’s been really eager to learn.
“I enjoy working with him. I told him, ‘Hey, I’m going to be on you and we’re going to get the most out of you.’ He’s continued to get stronger. Couple times, he’s catching the ball with his pinkies together instead of his thumbs together. We’ll correct some of that, but he’s someone that certainly will be a big part of what we do.”
Jeudy, 24, posted career highs in receptions (67), receiving yards (972) and touchdowns (six) in 15 games last season. If all goes well under Payton, Jeudy will post even better numbers this year.
