With the duo of Tua Tagovailoa (Alabama) and Joe Burrow (LSU) not participating in on-field workouts for quarterbacks at the NFL Scouting Combine, Jalen Hurts is creating attention. 

The former signal caller at Alabama and Oklahoma is displaying his pure athleticism for pro scouts – posting the best time for quarterbacks in the 40-yard dash.

He recorded two unofficial times of 4.64 seconds and 4.59 seconds, while having an official mark of 4.54 seconds. 

The 6-foot-1, 222-pounder totaled 43 rushing touchdowns at both schools. 

He looks to add on to his performance, but Hurts is off to a great start in the Combine.
