NFL rumors: Jerry Jeudy's knee concerned two unnamed teams at combine

Share

Jerry Jeudy is considered the most polished receiver in a star-studded 2020 NFL Draft. He's the best route-runner and should make an impact from Day 1. 

That is, if he stays healthy. 

NFL Media's Ian Rapoport reported Wednesday that two unnamed teams expressed concern over Jeudy's knee at the NFL Scouting Combine. Dr. Lyle Cain then wrote a letter to all 32 NFL teams, noting the former Alabama receiver shouldn't have any limitations. 

Rapoport also reported he has not spoken to a single team that believes Jeudy's knee will hinder his career. Jeudy underwent surgery on his knee in April 2018. He didn't miss any games the last two years to injury. 

There certainly is a chance that the 49ers and Raiders could be at least one of the two unnamed teams who expressed concern. If they're not, and they happen to be one of the teams that told Rapoport they don't have any qualms, all should be fine.

Jeudy is a target for both Las Vegas and San Francisco, who select one pick apart from each other at Nos. 12 and 13 respectively. The Denver Broncos traded up to No. 10 in our final mock draft to grab the former Crimson Tide star.

Over the last two seasons, Jeudy combined to record 145 receptions, 2,478 receiving yards and 24 touchdowns after surgery. That doesn't seem too concerning.
