and pretty much took him out of the game. I want Hayden Hurst back for an extension, hope we can get it done.
That first catch, damn. Cannot say how much I like Hurst, same as Cappa today and La'el is back it looks like.
I would be careful with a Hurst extension. His yards per catch since he came into the league...
12.5
11.6
10.2
8.5
8.0
Both his yards before catch and yards after catch have both dropped every year in the league. He will be in his age 30 season in 2023.
The Bengals need to find a more long-term solution at TE.

Hurst also ranks 8th among TEs with 18 catches for first downs. #Bengals pic.twitter.com/pJYZJslUXm
Imagine arguing this dude wouldn’t be an upgrade over CJ…
What is his average separation? Auden Tate was also very good at contested catches, because he didn't get enough separation to get uncontested ones.
