Former All-Pro wide receiver Steve Smith was famously critical of Cleveland Browns wideout Jerry Jeudy, but after Monday night he's changing his mind.
Jeudy, who now ranks fifth in receiving yards in the NFL with 880 yards, about his former team on Monday Night Football. Smith noticed and gave Jeudy the credit he deserved. Here's what Smith on Jeudy's big night:
“King Jerry Jeudy has arrived. Nine catches, 235 yards and lots of humble pie for the likes of Agent 89, Steve Smith. And when you hear all the boos in Denver, how dare you stone your fans for speaking ill of him? He was on the ball. He did everything you expected from him. This wasn’t a revenge game, this was a look at me game… fantastic job bro.”

The Browns have fallen to 3-9 this season, but it's becoming apparent that they have a future key player after giving up just a fifth-round pick and a sixth-round pick to develop the young star. Even at just 25 years old, the best football is still ahead of Jeudy.
