Not so long ago, the Denver Broncos took WR Jerry Jeudy with the No. 15 pick.
They hoped the National Champion would replicate his success from his days with the Alabama Crimson Tide in the pros, but that hasn’t been the case thus far.
Now, with the Broncos desperately looking to shed salary and money off their books, they’ve agreed to send him to the Cleveland Browns in return for a fifth and a sixth-round pick.
That was a bit of a surprise for most people, himself included.
That’s why he took to Twitter to bid farewell to his former fans and his former city.
Thank you, Denver, for everything. 🤞🏾 pic.twitter.com/SXChxcvx7T

Jeudy will now take his talents to Cleveland in an attempt to take flight.
He’s definitely a talented wide receiver and could still have a bright future ahead of him, and perhaps he just needed a change of scenery to get his career back on track.
Jeudy caught fire on social media last season after former NFL star Steve Smith Sr. ripped him on national television, and he hasn’t exactly had the production that one would expect from a first-round pick.
Nonetheless, he’s going to enter a contract year, and we know how much that can drive a player to bring his A-game week in and week out.
On top of that, the Browns will have a new offensive coordinator in Ken Dorsey, and they’re expected to run a pass-heavy offense, so he should have more than enough opportunities to redeem himself and prove his worth in this league.
