Coming into the 2020 college football season, Jaylen Waddle was a somewhat popular pick for the classes’ top receiver.

In his first four games of the season, Waddle amassed 557 yards and 4 touchdowns with only 25 catches. At an incredible average of 21.1 yards per catch, it was an incredible start to the season and Waddle was the most exciting player in the country.

In his 5th game of the season he went down with a sever ankle injury early in the first quarter and exited the game, looking like his season had prematurely ended.

He showed incredible progression in his training and was able to play in the National Championship game (although looking a little hobbled by his injury).

An incredible feat just to get back onto the field, Waddle proved to a lot of teams that day that he was a true competitor, ready for the NFL stage.
