The San Francisco 49ers selected converted wide receiver Jalen Hurd of Baylor in the third round of the 2019 NFL draft, a round after selecting Deebo Samuel — both guys coached by head coach Kyle Shanahan in the Senior Bowl.
Hurd is kind of a polarizing prospect in the draft community as his success as a running back at Tennessee has many people thinking he should have stayed at that position. Many believed that he wouldn’t be able to develop enough as a receiver in only one year of college — but he did exactly that.
