Former Oklahoma Sooners quarterback Jalen Hurts might not be getting the kind of hype Joe Burrow is getting at the NFL Combine, but it’s possible he should be. In the last few years, OU has turned into a kind of “Quarterback U” thanks to sending its last two starters to the NFL via first-round draft picks. In fact, both Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray were first overall picks.
Thanks to the existence of Joe Burrow, Hurts isn’t likely to be the first pick in the 2020 NFL draft, but his showing at Thursday’s combine could make a team take him in the first round. Hurts showed off both his speed and his arm and had quite a few analysts talking about how impressed they were on social media.
