Jerry Jeudy has put pen to paper on his first NFL contract.
The Denver Broncos announced the signing of the No. 15 overall selection in the 2020 NFL Draft on Thursday.
Jeudy’s contract is worth a total of $15.19 million with an $8.61 million signing bonus for four years. As a first-round selection, the Broncos will have the option to pick up Jeudy’s contract for a fifth year at a later date.
During his three seasons at Alabama, Jeudy caught 159 passes for 2,742 yards and 26 touchdowns. At times, he was simply unguardable at the collegiate level and has been recognized by many as the nation’s best route runner.
Following the 2018 season, Jeudy won the 2018 Biletnikoff Award, which is given annually to the nation’s top receiver.
In Denver, Jeudy will be teammates with former Crimson Tide defender Kareem Jackson and will be catching passes from former Missouri quarterback Drew Lock.
