Hurts might be a superhero. He’s taken two different schools to more College Football Playoff games than any other quarterback in the tournament’s history, making plays as often with his arm as his legs. He might be impossible to outwork in the weight room (listed at 6-foot-2, 218 pounds) and has been credited by his coaches for his diligence in film study, but Hurts can be at fault for mental errors at times. He consistently hits his receivers in stride but hasn’t shown the laser-precision of more accurate passers. He’ll be a 21-year-old rookie when the season begins and projects really well to develop further. Senior Bowl South Team.
