Jalen Hurd

Hurd is a physical specimen who was expected to go during Day 3 of the draft, yet was selected at the top of the third round by the 49ers, who are lacking a bigger, physical wide receiver. Hurd played running back prior to his senior year when he decided to become a receiver. He's 6-foot-5, 230 pounds, and has the physicality you want in a big receiver. He's still learning the position, but he's trending in the right direction. Think of a bigger version of Cordarrelle Patterson.

Hurd is a former college running back that converted to a slot receiver after he transferred from Tennessee. Hurd can quickly become one of the most exciting players in the NFL, and has borderline WR2 upside.
