What about Jalen Hurd?

[MiamiHurricane23]

The former 5 star Tennessee transfer? I know he played RB and has injury history but he's explosive. And he wants to move to WR

 

[The Franchise]

Pvssy *** locker room cancer who runs like he's in quicksand. Other than that, I love him.

 

[nycane]

alot of tennesse kids were cancer. no thanks.

 

[Cribby]

Explosive ? Did he have lit dynamite strapped to his chest during the year ?

 

[caneallday21]

He left mid season and the team didn't try to stop him. Says everything

 

[ATL-BRAD]

No no and **** no. Plus he's take his talents to the CFL.

 

[CaneFanWNY]

Light skinned and a ***** who quit on his team. Pass

 

[TNmiami]

I was friends with him in college and he is pretty much dead set on going to the draft. Im not sure if this has changed since he quit on the team. Just passing along info.

 

[Mico Jones]

Says below he had a concussion which would explain calling it quits mid season. Says he wants to be utilized in a more versatile manner. Dude is 6-4 240 and can move. Who knows. Would be interesting.

Jalen Hurd has finally broken his silence on the decision to leave the University of Tennessee.

"Transferring was completely my decision," Hurd said. "It was not a decision made rashly but one I have been thinking about for quite some time."

Hurd states he suffered "multiple injuries this year that were not and should not have been disclosed" and confirms he received a concussion that kept him out of Tennessee's game against Texas A&M.

•How does leaving Vols impact Jalen Hurd's NFL future?


He also mentions how not being the best fit for Tennessee's read offense was a factor in his decision. He said he hoped for offensive scheme adjustments to suit his strengths, and that it "did not happen on a consistent enough basis."

Hurd said in the post that he wants to play somewhere that "highlights [his] abilities to run, but also expands to allow [him] to show [his] abilities to catch the ball and be a mismatch for defenses."

"I have nothing but respect for all of my coaches," he wrote, ending his statement. "I wish this program all the success. Thank you to all the fans and the entire Vol nation."

light skin RBs are always a big NO for me. go play basketball or something.

 

[CFLCane]

4.5 ypc is far from explosive. I don't want a kid that quit on his team and his position who thinks he already has 1ft out the door towards the draft.

 

[The Franchise]

What an entitled cvnt. This bytch wants to call the plays and coach the team.

 

[ScubaCane]

I would take Kamara off that team

 

[gacericardo]

None of them high yella boyz

 

[TheMatador]

No...no light skinned in basketball either. Look what happened to Jimmy Graham. Had to go football as a last resort. Not a RB but what's the difference?

 

[Mico Jones]

Does he have to sit a year? We lose Njoku. Hurd would be sick on those bubble screens.
