Maybe good (meh), but not anywhere near Kamaras level

One of them is Rookie of the year and a pro bowler in the NFL, one of them is a backup tight end at 1-11 Baylor

This revisionist history is getting ridiculous. No Tennessee fan was calling Hurd average in 2015. Most were arguing he was the best RB in the SEC and better than Fournette. Hurd was also considered a Heisman Trophy candidate heading into the 2016 season. ESPN in fact did a story on him being a Heisman candidate.

Hurd was very good. In fact in 2015, one could argue he was ELITE. Especially given how bad the Tennessee offensive line was.

With that said, Butch still should have given Alvin more playing time. Because even though Hurd was better than him in 2015, Alvin was still the 3rd best player on Tennessee's offense. He deserved more touches and should have been used more as a receiver out of the backfield like Sean Payton is using him right now. But Vols fans need to stop rewriting history on Jalen Hurd.
