  10/29/20 - WR *Jaylen WaddleJr/2021, Alabama

  When Tua Tagovailoa suffered a season-ending hip fracture last November, the severity of the injury immediately raised questions about whether he would declare for the NFL draft, how far he might fall in the draft and if how he would be financially protected. It does not appear similar questions will follow Jaylen Waddle's fractured ankle that will end his season and, likely, his Alabama career. Nick Saban said Monday that Waddle's surgery was "very, very successful" and his long-term prognosis is "very good." Saban compared the surgery to the one performed on former Alabama running backs Derrick Henry in 2013 and Kenyan Drake in 2014, both of whom returned to continue onto their successful playing careers.

Waddle's injury is not likely to cause much change to his draft stock, assuming he leaves Alabama early to enter the 2021 draft. Two high-ranking NFL personnel executives told AL.com this week they do not expect Waddle's placement in the draft to be impacted, barring an unforeseen complication in his recovery. Both considered Waddle to be a first-round pick, with one executive expecting to see him taken within the first 15 or 20 selections. That evaluation has not changed much since the summer, when Waddle was viewed as a player who could have opted out of the 2020 season and still been taken high in the draft. Waddle's most desirable trait, his speed, has been on film for years and has long placed him on the NFL's radar. - Birmingham News
