Wide Receivers

Jerry Jeudy, Alabama
Laviska Shenault Jr., Colorado
Henry Ruggs III, Alabama
CeeDee Lamb, Oklahoma
Tee Higgins, Clemson

Jerry Jeudy is the best WR prospect to come out in quite some time. He has it all with speed, hands, and excellent route-running skills. About the only thing he is missing is the prototypical size. Speaking of prototypical size, that is exactly how you would describe Laviska Shenault Jr., who is also a terror after the catch with the ball in his hands. Henry Ruggs III has elite, world-class speed that allows him to easily stretch the field vertically and run away from defenders after the catch.

Both Lamb and Higgins are bigger receivers who don’t have the same speed as the other guys on this list but still get the job done. Lamb has elusiveness in the open field to allow him to be a yards-after-catch threat despite less than ideal speed. Higgins is more of a contested-catch/jump ball receiver and is excellent in that role.
