14-Year-Old Jerry Jeudy's String of NSFW Big Bird Tweets is Perfectly Strange
By Jerry Trotta
NFL Draft season is normally a gold mine in terms of digging up old tweets from top-ranked prospects. That narrative sadly didn't live up to the billing of years past in 2020.
Amazingly enough, however, former Alabama star Jerry Jeudy provided enough ammunition to go around. Back in 2013, a 14-year-old Jeudy strangely unleashed a succession of tweets about favored "Sesame Street" character, Big Bird.

We're having trouble determining if the new Denver Broncos wide receiver had a bizarre obsession or disdain for the beloved yellow bird. Some of the situations Jeudy fantasizes the character in are pretty grotesque.
For instance, the NSFW Elmo scenario and robbing an old lady are just disturbing.

Jeudy must've been scarred as a child, because his infatuation with Big Bird might go down as one of the most unusual social media-centered subplots in NFL Draft history. We need the No. 15 overall pick's reflection on this rant as soon as humanly possible.
