Hurd Transfer Options

#101
#101
Somebody like the New England Patriots and Belichick could sign Hurd as a free agent if Hurd decides to opt for the draft and goes undrafted.

REALLY? Why waste a thread on this? This is personal to Hurd and his family. He apparently has made his decision to leave UT and I thank him for his contributions and wish him well in his future endeavors. Sounds like team 120 has reportedly made the decision to move on and IMO, so does VN.

Too late to drop/add classes so he better stick around and finish out the semester or he could have some academic problems getting into other schools. Since, he's not eligible to play next year anyway, this may not be as important but it will cause him additional headaches to drop the courses and get all F's.

Is it too late to withdraw?

Maurice Clarett was built like a prototypical running back and had supremely more talent. He completely wasted his career and talents

And Clarett only played one year before the bottom fell out.....Hurd has played 2.5 years in the SEC behind a very subpar OL and still almost set the all-time UT rushing record....

there situations are in absolutely no way comparable...:salute:

Threads don't cost (or mean) a thing. I wouldn't hold my breath.

What a dumba$$. If he's lucky he'll get drafted in the 7th by Cleveland.

Shoulda crawled back on his knees and blamed it in the concussion.

What does a chronic concussion diagnosis pay these days from Hurd's/TN's football insurance?

Do you think he still has a shot at the NFL? I'm not sure he does but maybe some team will take a chance on him.

Had no idea about this, and SIAP, but I read this on TOS this morning (per Brent Hubbs):

"I thought Hurd could transfer down and be eligible next fall. But that's not the case. Because he only has one year of playing eligibility he would have to sit for a year anywhere he goes using his redshirt year and then play in 2018.

There's no way he can play anywhere in 2017.

My guess is that he ends up declaring for the draft."

All I can say is...wow.

Who cares!! He quit on the team!!! He got his just deserts Imo. Not a VFL.

oh I would fully expect him to get an opportunity at the NFL. I'm not an NFL fan and just casually keep up with UT players but I would never be able to figure out what drives NFL teams. His physical size and accomplishments will certainly cause someone to take a chance on him.

He has not done nearly what Clarett did and he was drafted. So Hurd being drafted sure would not surprise me.

What do you mean we don't know what's going on? We know he quit the team with 4 games left to play. That's plenty.

The season is basically over though. I'm not agreeing with his decision but i definitely see the frustration he must have with the talent we have but the horrid coaching who's running it into the ground.

He'd get drafted this year, it's just a matter of whether or not he wants to be 3rd day or 2nd day. I wouldn't wait 2 years. I'd hire an agent right now and start working on route running.

Is he an NFL RB? I say no. He can't take the hits. If HE thought he was an NFL caliber RB he wouldn't want a position change. So what do you do if you are Mr Hurd?

I say he transfers to a high flying passing offense and trains to be a WR or TE for his RS year. He sits that year and learns the position. Then he plays another year to show he can play the position. I don't think his family needs the money so he won't enter draft this year. That is his best chance to get drafted. If you think someone will draft a TE that can't play TE or a RB that doesn't want to play RB you are nuts. He WILL NOT be drafted as an athlete. Sure someone will invite him to camp but there isn't much hope for UFA to make a roster.

He's a RB that wants to be a WR/TE now. If you don't play him in the formation/position he wants you get the Vol74 treatment in the media. You sure an NFL org wants to take that on with a draft pick? I can see free agency at this point maybe a late round at best. His negatives right now seems to outweigh his pluses seems to me. Time will tell.

He can go to FCS and play next year, or if he can graduate before next Fall he can play anywhere as a graduate transfer.

Because this season is half over he cannot transfer anywhere and play next season. He quit to get ready for the NFL draft and nothing else. CBJ never said he was transferring, he said he was leaving the team.

This is one of the worst decisions. I can't help but feel bad for Hurd. If he would have played with intensity this year he breaks the record and probably gets drafted.

Instead he gives poor performances, quits the team, and more than likely will end up not drafted.

He got a concussion in the Georgia game. The poor performances was due as to not being 100%.
