Going to the national championship game on Monday night between Ohio State and Alabama, many wondered whether the great receiver Jaylen Waddle, star of the Crimson Tide, would be able to return from a broken ankle and play against the Buckeyes.
Well, after a practice / test before the game, he was put on the team for the first time since suffering his injury against Tennessee in late October and was seen limping across the field and making plays – he had two 28-yard receptions on middle of the third quarter.
Many NFL players, including Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes, accessed Twitter to ask Nick Saban to get Waddle out of the game because he was clearly injured and his health was very important for this year’s NFL draft, where he should be in high pick and earn a lot of money.
