Big-bodied Baylor mismatch with proven run-after-catch impact
Jalen Hurd’s Baylor profile was defined by rare size-speed versatility: in the 2018 season, he produced 69 catches for 946 yards and four receiving touchdowns, plus 209 rushing yards and three scores, while earning Big 12 Offensive Newcomer of the Year honors. His best differentiator was how Baylor used him as a hybrid weapon, creating mismatches as both a receiver and ball carrier. The caveat: his college and pro path was disrupted by injury and a later NFL retirement, so his upside is real but his durability history is a major part of the evaluation.
