The 2020 NFL Draft is loaded with talented wide receivers, including a pair of former Alabama stars — Jerry Jeudy and Henry Ruggs III.
Jeudy is widely considered the top receiving prospect in the class, but Ruggs is getting a lot of love too, including from SEC Network analyst Chris Doering.
As you can see in the video below, Doering says Ruggs is actually the top receiver in the group of 2020 draft receivers:
“The best of the [WR] bunch is Jeudy’s teammate, Henry Ruggs III.”

“This is a guy who has elite sprinter speed who was disappointed at the Combine by running 4.27 (seconds),” Doering said. “But he is not your typical sprinter. This is a guy that runs excellent routes, has the ability to adjust to the ball, has great body control in the air, can go up and high-point the football. Obviously, when he has the ball in his hands, he can make guys miss.”
Where will Ruggs go in the draft next week? He’ll likely come off the board midway through the first round on Thursday.
