Jerry Jeudy finished the 2020 season on a high note against the Las Vegas Raiders after a dismal game against the Los Angeles Chargers on the road, and he has picked up where he left off last year.

Jeudy was constantly open at Denver Broncos OTAs according to those who were able to watch practice.

Jeudy is a competitor, and is known far and wide for his ability to run routes. What makes Jeudy such a renowned route runner is his short-area quickness, explosiveness, speed, savvy, and footwork.

He takes pride in creating separation and there are very few defensive backs that can get their hands on him clean at the line. He knows how to win against any type of coverage, and that was obviously on display at Denver Broncos OTAs.

The Broncos knew they had a gem fall into their laps when Jeudy was on the board with the 15th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, and they will undoubtedly be anticipating him to make a major leap in the 2021 season.

Jeudy struggled with drops as a rookie, but if he cleans that up, the sky is truly the limit here. This guy’s always open, he’s great after the catch, and with that combination, the Denver Broncos’ offense should get a huge boost in 2021.
