The rookie deal allows both sides to move forward without any lingering issues as the 2020 season nears closer. The Broncos are hoping that Jeudy can be a significant piece to their offensive puzzle.
Denver has put together a young core group that will see second-year quarterback Drew Lock entering the campaign as the starter. Lock showed flashes of promise in his rookie season that could translate to him taking some notable steps forward in his second year.

Jeudy could form a strong tandem alongside Courtland Sutton to become the primary passing game weapons for Lock. Meanwhile, fellow rookie wideout K.J. Hamler has the chance to become a reliable third option that provides a speedy element out of the slot position.
That isn’t to mention the Broncos’ dynamic situation in the backfield with Phillip Lindsay and offseason addition Melvin Gordon. All that in place puts on the table the chance for potential strong growth in Denver in 2020.
