Uzomah is a bit faster than Hurst when it comes to straight line speed.
He's also bigger and longer arms.
Hurst may be a bit shiftier though.
It's hard to say though that Hurst will be some great receiving TE.
He's gotten eclipsed now by two different TEs - Andrews and Pitts.
I think Hurst's ceiling might be in the 600-700 yard range. Good, but not elite.
I think if he's used similar to Uzomah was last year, we'll probably see more in the 500 range.
Hurst is much shiftier than Uzo no question. Much better route runner and Burrow throws to the open man regardless.
Hurst is much better at getting open than Uzo so I expect around 800 yards and 10 TD's.
My only complaint is it is only a 1 year deal as I doubt we will be able to afford Hurst after this.

getting eclipsed by two top 5 tight ends is some sort of indictment against Hurst?
No doubt, that isn't a bad indictment being second fiddle to 2 of the best young TE's in the NFL.
I think Uzo did have a faster 40 time at the combine but that doesn't mean much to me as Uzo looks slow in the NFL...
Hurst doesn't or at least not as slow as Uzo looks to me.
