WR Jerry Jeudy’s final five games could not only impact Broncos’ playoff run, but club’s future plans for the position

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:06:12 GMT

Any good wide receiver always thinks he’s open.There’s a telltale when he knows it.He throws his hand up and waves, a signal to the quarterback: Throw it here. I’m gone.Jerry Jeudy threw his hands up repeatedly last week at Houston.He was open, too. But the gesturing came after plays rather than during them.With all the subtlety of a neon sign, it showed his frustration rather than his lightning ability to separate from defensive backs.A single play rarely makes the difference in an NFL game, but any of three times Jeudy found himself all alone over the final three quarters could have changed the complexion of a 22-17 loss that came up eight yards short for the Broncos.It’s mostly been that kind of season for Jeudy.His numbers are down. His frustration’s shown up multiple times, probably more frequently than he’s made game-changing plays.Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton (14), left, and teammate wide receiver Jerry Jeudy (10) talks on the bench near the end o...
