re: Jalen Hurd, RB - Nashville, TN, - 2014 Class

Sorry, I am late to the party.

Unless you know the kid and have seen him in person, it's hard to get a realistic grasp from that highlight tape. He will most certainly run anyone over that gets in his way.

What the highlight film doesn't tell you is that this kid tore his labrum in the middle of the season. He sat out two games, strapped his shoulder down, and came back to play. If it appears that he is going down with ease or accepting going out of bounds, it's because he chose to do that to keep from further injury. It worked too as he was able to finish the season and they won the state easily. He had 394 yards and 7 TD's in that game.

Since then, he's had surgery on the shoulder, already back to the point of doing pushups, and his weight is up to 220 lbs. This dude is serious!
