Allen Hurns allergic to grass, not to making plays

An afterthought in an offense-heavy 2014 draft class, third year wide receiver Allen Hurns is used to being out of the spotlight. He signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars after the 2014 NFL Draft with the hope of fighting for the 4th receiver spot behind veteran Cecil Shorts III and 2nd round rookies Marqise Lee and Allen Robinson.

Rather than hoping, Hurns went to work and was the most productive receiver on the team as a rookie. He followed that up with an outstanding sophomore campaign, compiling 115 passes for 1,708 yards and 16 touchdowns in his first two years.
