Can break tackles

Perhaps one reason that Jerry Jeudy is so successful in accumulating the yards after the reception is the ability he has to break tackles in college. And he has done that plenty of times during his time at Alabama.

One of the key components a wide receiver needs is to keep the football moving so that the can get those extra yards to get the first down, the touchdown, or just keep the drive going. And it can all come down to the strength he has in his legs.

The fact that he can keep the legs churning to break free of the tackler will go a long way for the Denver Broncos. Especially if that defender is the last one between Jeudy and the end zone. There is no doubt that the Broncos offense should be electrifying when it comes to having two effective wide receivers for Drew Lock to throw to in 2020.

John Elway and the Broncos brass did well in their first draft pick of 2020. I hope that he can keep it going.
