Denver Broncos: The best duos on the roster in 2020
4. Courtland Sutton & Jerry Jeudy (WR)
Although one half of this duo has never played a down of NFL football, it’s hard not to love the duo of Courtland Sutton and Jerry Jeudy at wide receiver for the Denver Broncos.
Courtland Sutton can make offense out of thin air.
Seriously.
Although Courtland Sutton didn’t get targeted 185 times last season like Michael Thomas of the New Orleans Saints, he perhaps did more with his 124 targets than any other player in the NFL.
Sutton caught passes from three different quarterbacks, including two young players making their first starts in the NFL.
Sutton was on the receiving end of the first career touchdown pass of both Brandon Allen and Drew Lock, and both plays were out-of-this-world spectacular.
He made head-scratching, jaw-dropping catches all season, fabricating offense unlike anything I’ve seen from a Denver player since Brandon Lloyd’s memorable 2010 campaign.
Adding Jerry Jeudy — widely considered the best route runner to come from the college ranks in recent memory — makes Sutton’s life that much easier.
Jeudy is truly a technician at the wide receiver position, and one of the most complete players I’ve evaluated coming out in some time. Although he’s not 6-foot-4, 225 pounds like Sutton, Jeudy is a receiver with a great combination of size, speed, hands, route running, quickness, and after-the-catch abilities.
There was nothing I found in studying his game that I felt would not able to be corrected at the next level.
He’s as pro-ready as pro-ready gets.
