Jalen Hurts is planning to workout as a quarterback only at the NFL combine, per the Atlanta Journal Record.
“He wants to show people that he’s a quarterback,” said Chip Smith, of Chip Smith Performance Systems, to D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal Record. “That’s the big thing. There is talk about other positions and that kind of stuff….He’s a great athlete. He played in two national championships. He’s got more film than any of the other quarterback out there….he’s a quarterback.”
Hurts threw for 3,851 yards in his lone season as Oklahoma’s quarterback. He also ran for 1,298 yards on the ground. He finished with 32 passing touchdowns and 20 rushing.
“I think that when he gets an opportunity, he may sit like some guys have done in the past,” Smith said. “But when he gets his opportunity, he’s going to absolutely be ready. He’s a leader.”
The combine is set for Sunday, March 2 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana.
