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.

I remember him coming into the 2019 draft but he's done nothing in the NFL so of course he fell out of memory when thinking about FAs.
After basically doing nothing the past 3 years due to injuries, I can't imagine he'd offer anything to a NFL team to justify a roster spot at this point.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.

Sorry for Party Rocking!
