"Yall people really think Jeudy Trash lol it’s hard to play when your QB misses you every week," Harris wrote in a post on X, alluding to some of the struggles the Broncos offense had last season.
Rumors swirled over the 2023 season as Denver started to struggle. Wilson was being accused of ignoring Jeudy during games. By December, Jeudy was only targeted 57 times while Courtland Sutton had 75 targets. Jeudy finished the season with 87 targets while Sutton had 90.
