  01/13/21 - WR *Jaylen WaddleJr/2021, Alabama

  Jaylen Waddle's labored trot on and off the field was obvious to everyone in Hard Rock Stadium on Monday night. Also evident was the junior wide receiver's desire to play in a national championship game less than three months after fracturing his ankle. Waddle caught three passes for 34 yards in Alabama's 52-24 win over Ohio State, playing a limited role for an offense that did not need its most explosive playmaker but welcomed his presence on the biggest stage of the season. "I have a lot of respect for Jaylen Waddle, his mental toughness and his ability to be able to come back," coach Nick Saban said Tuesday.

Waddle had not played since Oct. 24 but returned to practice last week. He went through about a 25-minute pregame warmup before giving coaches the go-ahead that he would play. That put into motion a plan that saw Waddle not start the game but enter late on the first drive of the game. On his first play, Waddle caught a pass over the middle from quarterback Mac Jones and turned downfield for a 15-yard gain. "We just had a limited plan for him," Saban said. "We really had, like, plays that he could run where he could run in a straight line and didn't have to do a lot of cutting, didn't have to do a lot of route running and changing direction, doing some of the things he's so good at, which is going in motion, running bubbles, orbits, all that kind of stuff. - Birmingham News
