Hurd does everything well. He has a complete game. His one weakness is that extra gear in the open field. If it turns out he's got that, and shows it this year, then he can absolutely put himself in the Heisman discussion.
If it turns out he simply doesn't have that gear, then he'll still have a great year. It just won't come with a bunch of hardware.
Gotta be more that IMO. If all that happens but he only averages 4.6 ypc and less than 100 yards rushing per game, I can't see him winning it.
I think he has the gear, just don't think he has the instincts.....he has looked a little lost the few times he's gotten to the second level his first two years and he struggled with shaking guys and seems to seek would-be tacklers out rather than try to avoid them. He's a legit 4.5 guy, maybe even a little better. He just hasn't shown a great comfort in the open field like the great ones have IMO.
Jalen soft?

That was a defensive lineman getting abused by Jalen's stiff arm.
