Henry Ruggs Rookie Profile and Fantasy Football Outlook
by Ray Marzarella, March 6, 2020What’s the best word to describe Henry Ruggs the NFL prospect? Enigmatic? Polarizing? Unicorn? Regardless, there’s a copious amount of buzz surrounding him after his performance at the 2020 NFL Scouting Combine. The obvious headline-stealing number was his 4.27 (100th-percentile among qualified wide receivers) 40-yard dash, which gave him a 110.0 (90th-percentile) Speed Score.
Ruggs’ rare speed and projected draft capital will keep him firmly planted among the top-five rookie receivers and makes him a lock to be selected in the first round of the upcoming NFL Draft. The quarterback-friendly abilities he’ll being to whichever team drafts him make it hard to find a bad landing spot. Whether it be the chalk in Philadelphia, the more recently-popular mock draft destination in Denver, or anywhere in between, he’ll fit into any offense.
