Could Jalen Hurts sneak into the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft?

You’re not going to find Jalen Hurts on many first-round mock drafts out there right now, but it’s hard to ignore the possibility after watching him continue to develop this past winter.  Everything he does is impressive.  He handled his disappointing demotion at Alabama and transfer to Oklahoma with professionalism.  He put his dual-threat abilities on display during a jaw-dropping 2019 campaign playing with Lincoln Riley. Then his utter commitment to the game of football came into focus during Senior Bowl week when Hurts stayed in Mobile to practice with his teammates, rather than attend the funeral of his beloved grandfather.  He had a tremendous showing at the 2020 NFL Scouting Combine. Hurts shined on the field as a pure passer, and his 40 time highlighted his running abilities. Even better, he proved to be a student of the game on the whiteboard.  This young man has shown he has what it takes to not only play at the NFL level, but excel. Back in January, I wrote that Hurts may end up being the sleeper
