Jalen Hurts, Oklahoma
The closer and closer we get to the NFL draft, the more Jalen Hurts’ name comes up being connected to the Colts. Hurts is projected to be a mid-to-late second-rounder that is a bit of a project. A two-year starter at Alabama before transferring to Oklahoma, and under the toolage of Lincoln Riley, Hurts has steadily progressed as a passer.
Hurts still has limitations but the improvement he’s shown over his last three seasons is notable, the arrow is pointing in the right direction. If the Colts were to select Hurts, he would have to sit at least one year behind Rivers to learn the mental aspect of football, but if Reich, Rivers, and Sirianni can develop him, Hurts could be a diamond in the rough find for the Colts.
