Nick Saban Was Asked To Pick A Wideout Between Henry Ruggs & Jerry Jeudy
© Kyle Terada-USA TODAY Sports
While on Wednesday's NFL Now, Alabama head coach Nick Saban was asked which of his former wideouts does he prefer: Henry Ruggs or Jerry Jeudy? Per NFL.com...
quote:

“I think it’s a matter of personal preference, choice, whatever you want to call it,” Saban told NFL Network’s Andrew Siciliano Wednesday on NFL Now. “I think receivers are a little bit like a basketball team, you got a point guard, you got a two-guard, you got a swing forward, you got a power forward, they’re all different but they’re all very critical to being successful as a team.

“So, if your personal preference was to have a speed receiver then Henry Ruggs is probably as good as it gets. If you wanted somebody whose a little more of a finesse type player, great slot receiver, good option route runner than you probably would favor Jerry Jeudy.”
The Raiders took Ruggs with the #12 overall pick in the first round and the Broncos grabbed Jeudy at #15.

Trindon Holiday and Xavier Carter were both faster than Ruggs fwiw.

So is Usain Bolt, but it doesn’t mean he can reliably catches footballs.

Or...Saban is a celebrity in the college football world, this is the SEC section of the site, and you clicked on this article the same as I because it's interesting to see robot Saban give his thoughts on his 2 1st rd WRs.

every article posted about Bama guaranteed to attract LSU fans bitching about it. In other news, water is wet.

I am surprised he remembered their names. They are no longer helpful.

What does he mean? It's obviously Jeudy. Ruggs had like 700 receiving yards this year.

That can be attributed to the west coast offense Alabama ran, just like Saban said. Jeudy is simply going to get more touches thanks to his route running abilities
