This Player NOT Tua is #1 on Mel Kiper’s 2020 Big Board

Mel’s big board is out and surprisingly the #1 player is not Tua, it is actually his #1 receiver Jerry Jeudy. That is surprising because Julio Jones, Odell Beckham Jr., Amari Cooper and others were never the #1 overall preseason player according to experts.

Here is how Mel explained the Alabama WR #1:

1. Jerry Jeudy, WR, Alabama*

Height: 6-foot-1 | Weight: 192 pounds

Yes, you’re reading that correctly — I have a wide receiver No. 1 in my first Big Board. Jeudy is a tremendous talent, a natural pass-catcher who can beat defenders on every route. He showed elite ball skills last season, catching 68 passes with 14 touchdowns and averaging 19.3 yards per reception. Jeudy doesn’t have the size of Julio Jones and A.J. Green, who were picked in the top six in the 2011 draft, but he’s the most talented receiver since that duo entered the NFL.
