VIDEO: NFL Draft Prospect and Alabama WR Henry Ruggs Throws Down Absurd Dunk in Pickup Game
By Jack Murphy
NFL prospects usually get their opportunity to show off their skills at the Combine ahead of the draft. However, before he performed at the NFL Combine, Alabama wide receiver Henry Ruggs III showed off his freak athleticism during a pickup game on the hardwood, throwing down a crazy dunk that may have NBA scouts trying to convert him to basketball.

That's the type of jam you'd see out of an NBA player, or perhaps a professional dunker. He elevated high above the rim and threw down an emphatic windmill.
Ruggs is known for his blazing speed, having run a 4.27 40-yard dash at the 2020 Combine. After this video surfaced, however, it may be his vertical leap that truly drops jaws.
