By Kevin Hood
Next up is Allen Hurns. Hurns became a household name during his 2015 season with Jacksonville. This 6’3″ receiver amassed 1,031 yards on 64 receptions for ten touchdowns. since he has not got more than 576 yards in a season.
Also, adding confusion into the competition is exciting, undrafted free agent Kirk Merritt. Merritt started his college career in Oregon in 2015. However, transferred due to “family issues,” then found his way to Texas A&M, where he had some off-field issues. After an NJCAA championship in 2017, Merritt made his way to Arkansas State. His 2018 and 2019 years did not blow anyone away with stats. 1,005 yards on 83 receptions and seven touchdowns in 2018. 806 yards on 70 receptions with 12 touchdowns in 2019. However, it is his combine stats that make him have a shot at earning one of the three spots. His 4.33 40-yard dash (2nd among combine receivers), 45.5-inch vertical jump (1st among combine receivers, 4.02 shuttle (1st among combine receivers), and 11’3 broad jump (3rd among combine receivers) that wows.
Also in the mix is Ricardo Louis, Mack Hollins, and Matt Cole.
