Jerry Jeudy, Henry Ruggs, DeVonta Smith. Alabama football is producing not one, not two, but three wide receiver prospects for the 2020 NFL Draft.

Julio Jones, Amari Cooper, Calvin Ridley; three first round Alabama football wide receivers who have selected in the first round in the last decade. What if I told you that the Crimson Tide may produce three first round wide receivers in the 2020 NFL Draft alone in Jerry Jeudy, Henry Ruggs, and DeVonta Smith?

That may just be the case here as Jeudy is a top 15 lock, Ruggs looks like a likely first round pick, and Smith is slowly rising up the rankings as the 2019 season progresses. While Jeudy is absolutely the cream of the crop, Ruggs is a speedster with great ball skills down the field, and Smith is a solid, reliable option who always shows his number to quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.

While the Crimson Tide have hung an average of nearly 50 points per game this season, the three wide receivers have accounted for a massive 27 touchdowns for Alabama. As the season continues, do not sleep on this trio of receivers to all end up in the first round of the upcoming draft in April.

Get to know each of the trio here as I break down their scouting reports based off of their performances against South Carolina, Duke, and New Mexico State University.
