I assume this guy is finished. I can't find any current news about him. Thought some of you who were more on top of all the free agents might have seen something.
Hurd is a 6'4", 225 WR. Niners took him with the 3rd pick of the third round in '19. Placed on IR every year '19-'21.
He is not very fast (4.65 forty), but he is a versatile athlete. He started his college career as a 5 star RB at Tennessee. His first two seasons he lit it up with over 2500 yards from scrimmage and 21 tds. His sophomore season he was #4 in the SEC with 1285 rushing yards.
He suffered a concussion his junior season and wanted to switch to WR. Vol coaches did not agree so he transferred to Baylor. In '18 he finished #6 in the Big 12 in receptions (69) and #10 in receiving yards (946).
Never thought he would be a big star in the NFL because he is not a real "quick-twitch" athlete. He is not great in-and-out of his cuts. He is not going to get a lot of separation running routes.
But he is a big target with decent hands. And he is a smooth runner with the ball in his hands. And still just 26.
