Denver Broncos rookie grades through first quarter of 2020 season
1. Jerry Jeudy, WR
The Denver Broncos obviously had very high hopes for Jerry Jeudy after picking him 15th overall in the 2020 NFL Draft.
So far, Jeudy has not disappointed.
He leads the team through four games with 28 targets and 234 receiving yards. He caught his first touchdown of the 2020 season against the New York Jets, and it was a beauty.

Jeudy has been hyped up for his route-running abilities, and rightly so. He’s constantly finding ways to get open and he does it whether he’s playing outside receiver or lined up in the slot.
He’s only on pace for 60 receptions, but that number should continue to increase weekly as Jeudy becomes one of the focal points of the Broncos’ offense with Courtland Sutton out all year due to a knee injury.
A couple of dropped passes have put a bit of an unnecessary lid on Jeudy’s production so far. He’s going to have plenty of opportunities to make big plays.
