DK Metcalf

Hurd is an athlete in this own right.

Jalen Hurd, Tennessee — Like Fournette, Hurd's massive frame belies his blinding speed. At 6-foot-3 and more than 220 pounds, there aren't a lot of running backs built like Hurd. There aren't many that run like him, either. Before enrolling at Tennessee, he reportedly clocked a 4.37-second 40-yard dash.

If there's one thing that is known about Hurd, it's his raw talent and athletic ability. When the Baylor coaching staff put him through drills, he did not disappoint.

Hurd squatted more than 500 pounds, ran the 40-yard dash consistently in the 4.4-second range, posted a 40-inch vertical jump and ran 20-yard shuttles of 3.8 and 3.9 seconds. For some context, as cited by Hayes, the best vertical jump at this year's NFL Combine was 41.5 inches and the recent best at the combine in the 20-yard shuttle was 3.81.

Baylor assistant coach Evan Cooper lamented Hayes including the 3.8-second 20-yard shuttle in the piece, since it potentially stretches credibility even if "he absolutely did" run it that fast.

Cooper went a little further to lay props on Hurd.

"I'm telling you, we got away with highway robbery. Literally, this might be the most talented player I have ever seen."

I mean there's a chance. I definitely see his upside. But not yet. My guess is he takes a big leap at the tail end of next year

I'm sad we passed on AJ brown. Dude wanted to be here but let's be real all them receivers are good.

Mark my words though l, all that muscle will make him good when he's available but will get him injured esp at the WR position. There's a reason why moss, rice, owns prefer the buff but lean body style. I don't think it was lack of effort in the gym. He's. A dlineman running as fast as he can down the field with tons of weight added. He's gonna get injured.

They got threads on Seahawks.net right now:

* "DK and Megatron"

* "DK Super weapon"

They are gloating over there. We got Deebo Samuel who I think is a good player. But I'm not sure he is this.....

Yes I think they did. I like Deebo and he has already turned out well. But I'm not sure he is this with this much upside?

Im with you on that. Im more bummed on missing out on Brown than DK Metcalf. Metcalf doesnt fit the Shanny system and there is a substantial risk of PED suspension. Everyone wants to point to Julio but he is a once in a decade type of receiver.

However I think 2 factors HEAVILY influenced the drafting of Deebo. 1) obviously the senior bowl 2) They drafted Pettis the year before and imo they saw that they needed someone more physical. They knew Garcon was done and Deebo was the toughest receiver in the draft. It's basically a one for one swap. They followed that up with Hurd who is another punisher... so I think they wanted that Kittle mentality across the entire offense, the two WRs they drafted were the best candidates for that.

Offensive scheme fit was a BIG factor in drafting Deebo. Can line up inside and outside, can run the end arounds and sweeps but can (as we have seen) line up as the HB.

He is a movable chess piece on the field for Kyle.

Knees. Weight and impact on knees and ankle and shin. He may be the exception though. For his sake I hope so but he is undoubtedly a very potent effort and so far he has helped them win a playoff game as a rookie

Agreed, I mentioned that in my earlier DK post showing the effects of his PED use but forgot to reiterate it. Its also why Hurd will be a great fit too, both are RB/WR studs. On those end around and sweeps... they can basically choose which side they want to attack with Deebo and Hurd at opposite ends of the line. They go heavy on the strong side then the sweep/end around hits the opposite side with one(lets say Deebo) and if they go heavy on the weak side Shanny hits them with Hurd.

We can trot out 11 personnel with Juice as the apparent lone back and opt to take advantage of a defense. They come out in base we stay in 11, they come out in a sub package (which is more likely) and we can line up in 21 with Hurd or Deebo lined up at HB and run or pass out of this formation.

The ability to move pieces around as such allows Kyle to stress and confuse defenses with their own personnel groupings and put the offense in advantageous situations personnel wise.

Seattle fans think he's the next Calvin Johnson? Well clearly that settles that.

Calvin Johnson was the most physically gifted WR to ever play this game... He made Stafford look like a top 10 QB. It's ironic that the Lions got what could of been the all time greatest at their position in Barry Sanders and Calvin Johnson yet weren't able to do anything with them causing them to retire early.

He didnt train for the 40, didnt plan to run it at the combine... decides to do it borrowing another mans shoes and runs in the 4.3's. All of his stats came against double or triple coverage. He never talked, never glorified himself and sadly because of that will be overlooked as one of the greatest to ever play this game. One of those guys that if he could of just gone to a decent team he would of reset the record books.

No wonder shehawk fans are comparing DK to him because it proves they are the batsh*t crazy idiots everyone outside of washington thinks they are...
