Could the Jimmy Garoppolo/Jalen Hurd connection be a thing in 2019?

Jalen Hurd has been getting a lot of love. While Deebo Samuel was considered the best wide receiver in th 2019 NFL Draft by some and the praise is gushed on what he can do with Jimmy Garoppolo, Jalen Hurd has been entering conversations quite a bit. The third-round pick has so much to offer in terms of versatility him in Kyle Shanahan’s system will be something to watch.

NFL.com analyst Bucky Brooks thinks so and has Hurd and Garoppolo—not Samuel and Garoppolo—as his No. 5 entrant in top veteran-rookie passing duos.
