We knew it was gonna be a long day for New Mexico State, and it got ugly from Alabama’s first offensive snap.
Following the opening kickoff, Crimson Tide wide receiver Henry Ruggs III took a backwards pass from quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and raced 75 for a touchdown.
Watch Ruggs turn on the Jets and run away from the entire Aggies defense:
While teammate Jerry Jeudy is widely regarded as the top wide receiver prospect in the 2020 NFL draft class, Ruggs is a potential first-rounder in his own right, thanks in large part to his incredible speed.
Don’t be surprised if multiple Bama receivers come off the board on Day 1 of next year’s draft.
