Raiders Eye X Receiver Ted Hurst

0:00On April 4th, Raiders are on the hunt for a solid ex-receiver this draft season, and they're not missing around. They know these guys don't come easy, so after skipping free agency, they're diving into prospects. One name popping up. Georgia State's Ted Hurst, a 6'4 wide out they're bringing in for a pre-draft vision, along with 11 other teams. Hurst flew under the radar, without the big school spotlight, or national TV games, but that small school tag hasn't scared off the scouts. Teams want eyes on him up close, figuring he's got untapped potential that could pay off. Last year, he balled out his first team all-sun belt, leading his squad with 71 catches for 1,000 4 yards at 14 yards a pop, plus 6 scores over 12 games. That's the kind of production that turns heads when you're overlooked. At the combine, he showed speed and explosion with a 4.42 in the 40 yard dash, a 36.5 inch vertical, 11 foot 3 broad jump, projections pay him as a mid-round steal, likely third or fourth round.

1:04Raider's brass sees the value in doing their homework here, and with needs at that spot, Hurst could be the move that fits their rebuild puzzle just.
