The 2020 NFL Draft is absolutely loaded with talent. And that is especially true at wide receiver, with Alabama wideout Henry Ruggs III turning heads.
Not only is Ruggs, 21, seen as one of the best, he seems to believe it himself. According to Tyler Dunne of Bleacher Report, Ruggs is hyping himself up that way—one of the best.
“Game speed is definitely different than combine speed,” Ruggs says. “And that's one thing I pride myself on: trying to play at my full speed—my top speed—for the entire game.”
“I can be one of the best,” he says. “And that is the mindset I'm taking into it.”
Ruggs III is definitely not going to get any arguments when talking about his speed. The wide receiver is just different in that category. He ran the 40-yard dash in under 4.3 seconds. And it didn't come as a surprise to anyone, his game speed was always ridiculous.
He isn't just a speed demon though. Ruggs III is a threat in a lot of ways. That includes having good route running abilities and solid hands. And he's athletic outside of just the speed as well, making him even more dangerous.
At the start of the mock draft season, people had Ruggs falling mid-late first round. While some still have him dropping to around 20, there are others that have him inside the top 10. People are seeing the obvious skill and potential. And that's creating a lot of hype around the receiver.
Henry Ruggs III himself seems to see it, and he's ready to prove just how good he is.
