Henry James Ruggs III was a promising American football player from Montgomery, Alabama. Even in his early years, he showed a remarkable talent for the sport. By the eighth grade, he had already been promoted to the varsity team for the final two games of the season. He eventually attended Robert E. Lee High School, where he played basketball and ran track, in addition to football.

Although he did not play high school football until his junior year, he received a scholarship offer after just his second game on the gridiron. By his senior year, he had established himself as a standout player with 38 catches for 639 yards and 20 touchdowns.

Ruggs’s talent caught the attention of more than 20 colleges, but he decided to play for the University of Alabama. During his time there, he was part of the team that won the 2018 College Football Playoff National Championship.

In 2020, Ruggs was selected by the Las Vegas Raiders in the first round of the NFL Draft. However, tragedy struck during his second season in the league. Ruggs was involved in a car accident that resulted in the death of a 23-year-old woman. The Raiders released him from the team the same day.

On May 2, 2023, Ruggs agreed to plead guilty to a felony count of driving under the influence (DUI) resulting in death and a misdemeanor count of vehicular manslaughter.
