ERIC EDHOLM: Alabama might have had one of the best receiving corps in the country, and they could have the first receiver drafted in Henry Ruggs III.
On the upside, we're talking about a productive player-- 24 touchdowns on 98 catches. His 4.27 speed at the Combine, that also showed up on tape. But his best trait might be his hustle and his toughness. On the downside, he was only his team's third leading receiver last year and needs to be a little better tracking the ball down field.
My NFL Comp for him-- remember Mike Wallace from the Steelers? A little bit of an underrated player. That's who I see Ruggs being in the NFL.
