Jalen Hurd now over 240 lbs.

[madbamahater]

Has he officially gone from being too tall for RB to too wide for RB?

Or, can idiots just shut up and let him continue to be a beast at RB?

 

[BigBadVol]

Please inform me what twss means...

That's what she said.

 

[FLVOL_79]

If his speed is the same.. NOT FAIR

Earlier in the year he was saying he was bulking up yet retaining his speed so hopefully that's legit..

 

[ButchBallVFL]

That could be inflated a bit but I like it either way, AK smaller quick and agile and Hurd big and beefy to pound LBs into second half hell

 

[VonVol]

I can't remember the last time I was this excited to see a UT backfield. It's way past due.

While Jalen Hurd is going to crush people, you have mistakenly inserted a photo of what Kahlil McKenzie is going to do to opposing OLs.

 

[ItsAllVols]

But T. Martin said he was too soft to play RB.

 

[TNVolunteerGrad]

Two-way player?

 

[Volador]

perfect size for an SEC TE

Can he throw????

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

Not SEC history. Every vandy and kentucky OL was worse.

TBH KY had a pretty good line last year and I fear they might be pretty good this as well.

 

[VolsnRavens]

Inside the 5 yard line will now be known as the "Hurd" zone. Inside the 2 will be called "Give him six"

But T. Martin said he was too soft to play RB.

T. Martin is a sellout that deserves to have his street sign removed. Save that sign for true VFLs like Inky.

 

[TNVolunteerGrad]

But is he fast twitch?

 

[JohnnyBall]

Nutrisystem will take that extra weight off before summer camp

 

[VolsnRavens]

i don't like anything i read, for no reason....baaaaaaa.

He beats good OLs and is in the backfield right at 2.5 seconds. Mediocre and poor OLs < 2 seconds. Wouldn't surprise me to see him with several Clowney type backfield hits on RBs this year alone.

 

[MockingVol]

I think Hurd can easily carry 235+ during the season. Last year all of his weight was in his lower body while his upper body was very lanky. This was due to his shoukder issues. Now that he is 100% he has been able to even out his weight distribution; in turn he will be much more durable, be able to break tackles easier, and also gain some speed.

Watch out SEC, Jalen Hurd might just be a thunderstorm all by himself.

How tall is Jalen, 6'4-6'4.5? He looked a couple inches taller than Dobbs to me last year. Looked closer to Crooms height to me.

I agree. He looks taller than 6'3 to me. I know they normally give players an extra inch here and there regarding height....I think it's entirely possible that they took one away from Jalen.

Agreed KB. Even money bet Chubb falls out of Heisman conversation after Hurd outrushes him at Neyland in 2015. Takers?

 

[yupp67]

Did you get the number of that bus that just came through here.

 

[Roustabout]

I can promise you that Jamal Lewis never played at 245 while at UT. Met him a couple of times while at UT. Of course, he was only 5'11.
No question Hurd looked very thin last year. I'd say 250 is a realistic weight, particularly if he fills out his lower body.

 

[aRmo]

Same size as Derrick Henry at Bama and that dude was a beast last year

Henry has a different frame tho.

Keep in mind Croom and Dobbs probably aren't as tall as their listed height either.

At the combine Jamal showed up at 237 so I'd say he probably dropped a few lbs to add speed. Very possible he played at UT at 240+ his junior year.

 

[VolsNSkinsFan]

Jamal also tore his acl twice so carrying that weight means extra conditioning. (Knocking on wood)
