After putting up eye-popping numbers during this past season at Oklahoma, Jalen Hurts received a fourth-round grade for the 2020 NFL draft by ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr., via D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Kiper compared the former Alabama transfer to New Orleans Saints backup Taysom Hill, mostly being used as a gadget player rather than a full-time quarterback.

Hurts finished second in voting for the Heisman Trophy in 2019 after totaling 3,851 passing yards and 32 touchdowns to go with 1,298 rushing yards and 20 more scores on the ground.
