Before the Broncos finished their offseason workout program, wide receiver Jerry Jeudy described the pains that he felt during his second season, both physically and mentally in going touchdown-less in a season for the first time in his football life.
"I can't wait to touch that paint," Jeudy said on June 14. "That's my first time ever playing the game of football not being able to score a touchdown. I know this year when I get in that end zone, y'all are gonna feel me."
With the addition of quarterback Russell Wilson, a strong rebound effort seems almost certain for Jeudy as he enters his third season. Pro Football Focus' Michael Renner agrees, writing recently that Jeudy is the top candidate for a breakout season in 2022 among third-year players.
"His skill set and route-running ability are very similar to the man who caught more passes from Wilson than anyone else: Doug Baldwin," Renner wrote. "After lining up primarily on the outside as a rookie, Jeudy went back to his college roots in the slot in 2021, where Baldwin also primarily operated over the course of his career. That's a role that Wilson is obviously very comfortable pumping targets toward."
