There are a number of marquee names still available after the first round of the 2020 NFL draft, but few are as recognizable as Jalen Hurts.

It isn't every year teams in need of quarterback help can land a Heisman Trophy finalist who won a national championship and suited up for two of the sport's biggest powerhouses throughout his college football career.

That is exactly what the team that drafts Hurts will receive after the entire league passed on him in the opening round.

The 21-year-old started his college career with Alabama and threw for 2,780 yards and 23 touchdowns while running for 954 yards and 13 scores during his freshman campaign.
