After watching him a couple of games in High School, I was not sure how much he would play for the Tide. But he has really became a great tackle and hope he does good in the Pros. Congrats on going 10th in the 1st round.

Not sure what games you watched, but he was highly regarded from day 1.

 

Lexington, Alabama football star Jedrick Wills picked 10th overall in NFL Draft

 

Coming out of high school, Wills was the highest-rated prospect in Kentucky by both 247Sports and Rivals, and was considered one of the best offensive tackles in the country. Rivals ranked him as a five-star recruit and the 25th best overall player in the country, regardless of position, while 247Sports pegged him as a four-star prospect and the No. 34 player nationally.

Well I'm just telling you what I seen and I know is was a highly ranked prospect and a 5 star but that doesn't always pan out when you go to college. Like I said he was a great tackle in college and glad so see a kid from Kentucky go that high in the draft. I'm thinking the games I seen was his Junior year and not his Senior year.

Congrats Mr. Wills!

 

Round 1, Pick 10.

 

How many other footballers from Kentucky high schools have gone in the first round?

Wow! Good post for reminding us of the "Golden Boy" from KY. But even more so for me, good post due to the reason for your edit. :ylsuper:

Congratulations to Jedrick Wills, Jr.!

 

To go in the top 10 in a draft is off the charts.

Pretty cool seeing Jed Wills in a commercial on TV tonight during the Bengals/Browns game.

Was he still lying about winning a state championship? ?

Lol, I must have missed it that he did that. When/where was he saying that?

Pretty sure it was him.. During the draft when they showed his info/stats from high school in a graphic, it said he'd won a state championship.
