By John Newman
To help you get ready for the upcoming quarterback class, we created a top ten list of quarterbacks available in the 2020 NFL Draft. Up next, former Oklahoma quarterback Jalen Hurts.
In the upcoming days, we will be releasing more of our top 10 quarterbacks in the 2020 NFL Draft. Each day, we will be reviewing a different quarterback that will be available this April for NFL teams to draft. Whether they won a national title or had a losing record, these quarterbacks showed signs in college that indicated they should be drafted this year and make an active roster in 2020.
Posted below are the players on this list we have made it through so far:
10) Nate Stanley- Iowa
9) Shea Patterson- Michigan
8) Jacob Eason- Washington
In these articles, we will be reviewing their background: their history, how they got recruited and what their time in college was like. Afterward, we’ll go into a film analysis of the player: how they threw, what their mechanics were like, what they did well and didn’t do well. And finally, we’ll make a draft prediction for them, the teams that fit their style, where in the draft they could be selected and what role they can expect to take once there.
In this article, we explore the complicated background of Jalen Hurts, the former Alabama Crimson Tide and Oklahoma Sooners quarterback.
Hurts has been an incredibly productive quarterback for the last four seasons and will have a lot of traits that NFL teams will be searching for in the 2020 NFL Draft. He led his college teams three out of four seasons into National championship playoffs and has earned accolades for his dual-threat style of quarterbacking.
However, certain flaws with his mechanics and style make him a complex player to mock and will require a more nuanced examination of his film and background.
