Jalen Hurts’ agent called to wish him good luck for NFL Draft and found out he was heading out to throw

He was never regarded as a great passer, but Jalen Hurts is ready unleash everything on the National Football League.  

He set records at Alabama, he took Oklahoma to the College Football Playoff and was a champion in two different conferences. Hurts became the first player in the CFP era to lead two programs to the playoff and he was on a national championship team in 2017 with the Tide. 

After his performance at the NFL Combine and Oklahoma’s Pro Day, his stock rose as he projects as an early second-rounder. With the first round of the NFL Draft starting Thursday night, Hurts’ determination to be a complete quarterback does not stop. His agent, Nicole Lynn of Young Money Sports, called to wish him well but found out he was getting some throws in. 

Lynn took to Twitter to show much appreciation toward her client. 

Some would be taking this time to spend with friends and family members; however, Hurts carries a chip on his shoulders.

He has been doubted in more ways than one, and now enough is enough.
