Hayden Hurst is a capable pass-catching tight end who makes sense in a vertical passing scheme that prioritizes seam routes and red zone opportunities.
He can contribute immediately as a rotational pass-catching tight end, with a ceiling as a quality starting Y-TE in a tight-end heavy offense.
His value diminishes significantly in run-heavy schemes that demand elite inline blocking proficiency from their tight ends.
Hurst's athletic profile and receiving skills make him a strong fit for offenses that want a versatile tight end to stretch the seam and convert in the red zone.
Selected #25 overall in Round 1 of the 2018 NFL Draft by Baltimore Ravens out of South Carolina.
