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.


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.

Hurst's best YPC in any season is 11.6.
If he were to reach 800 yards at 11.6 YPC, that'd be 69 receptions.
His best catch percentage in a season was 84%.
So for Hurst to get 69 receptions, he's going to need 80-85 targets.

You think he's going to get that many targets?

I don't think he will, but maybe he would if he can get open enough and Burrow finds him reliable quickly.
