Maurice Hurst was diagnosed with a heart condition at the NFL combine three weeks ago, which makes him one of the riskiest picks in this year’s draft. So why did I give him to the Detroit Lions in my latest mock draft?
Two reasons, mostly, the first being there’s still a month to go till the draft and it remains to be seen how NFL teams ultimately view Hurst’s health.
I saw Hurst working out locally two weeks ago in anticipation of his pro day Friday at Michigan. He ran. He did other timing drills.
