Herbstreit: UM’s Maurice Hurst a ‘steal’ in NFL Draft
(Photo: Lon Horwedel / Special to Detroit News)The way ESPN’s college football analyst Kirk Herbstreit sees it, Michigan All-American defensive tackle Maurice Hurst will be a “steal” in the upcoming NFL Draft.
Hurst has been medically cleared to play football after an irregular EKG prevented him from participating in the NFL combine and has been projected as a first- or an early second-round selection by NFL Draft analysts. Hurst, voted the Wolverines’ MVP and top defensive lineman last season, hasn’t discussed specifics about his medical issue, but he did undergo testing at Michigan and Harvard in the two weeks following the combine. He participated in Pro Day at Michigan.
