Jerry Jeudy got quite a reaction posting a two-word message with a photo Sunday afternoon.

The Alabama receiver just went with the "Come press" message corresponding with the picture of him looking across the line at Missouri cornerback Christian Holmes. The post had more than 20,000 likes as of Monday afternoon.

"I just thought that quote would go well with the picture," Jeudy said Monday. "He was playing off. That was just a good caption for the picture, that's all."

In reality, Jeudy probably doesn't mind cornerbacks giving him distance at the line of scrimmage rather than jamming. Given a free release on the second play of the Missouri game, Jeudy caught an 81-yard touchdown.

It added to his school-record pace nine receiving touchdowns and national-best 27.1 yards per catch.

Do defensive backs underestimate the sophomore from Deerfield Beach, Florida?

"I'll say so," Jeudy said. "They'll probably say I'm pretty slow, but when you get close to me, you'll see that speed."

Jeudy has an explanation as to why he consistently beats opponents to the spot

"Just more want-to," Jeudy said. "I just want to get there faster than my opponent I guess."

So far, he has.

His 26 catches for 705 yards lead the team. The 14 catches covering 20-plus yards ranks second in the country. Jeudy's nine touchdowns average 42.7 yards a pop while accounting for 55 percent of his receiving yardage.

With that 81-yard score against Missouri, Jeudy said he knew before the snap he'd be in the end zone. The Tigers' reaction to DeVonta Smith pre-snap motion was the key. Jeudy knew he'd be open.

Controlling his excitement in that moment wasn't too difficult.

"You just have to go out there and make plays," Jeudy said. "It's something we practice on, so it won't be over exciting. We see them type of coverages in practice."

Jeudy had approximately 35 yards after that catch and 53 total against Missouri. He had 206 yards after the catch entering the night, according to CFBFilmroom.com. A year ago, Calvin Ridley led the team with 392 yards after the catch, according to the CFBFilmroom.com database.

Jeudy outran defenders for a 79-yard touchdown at Ole Miss and beat everyone to the edge for a 60-yard score at Arkansas on what looked like a short pass in Fayetteville.

"Actually, when I get a ball I actually feel slow," Jeudy said. "But when I actually watch it ... I don't know why but I just feel slow when I get the ball. I'm actually running fast, I guess."
