‘Tis the season for the “best shape of my life” declarations in the NFL, where players hoping to improve on their 2020 seasons show up ready to make an impact and looking the part.
Hayden Hurst is a particularly interesting example of this, and he was the recipient of Scott Bair’s writeup at the Falcons site the other day. In it, we learned Hurst isn’t sore about having his fifth year option declined (at least outwardly), is “definitely a man on a mission this year,” and is down to nearly 8% body fat. I respect the hell out of that last piece in particular, because despite an offseason’s effort, I am decidedly not.
