If he can stay healthy, 49ers third-year wide receiver Jalen Hurd can carve out a niche for himself in 2021, but health hasn’t been on his side at all.
Football is filled with “what if?” questions, and the San Francisco 49ers‘ third-round selection of former Baylor wide receiver Jalen Hurd in the 2019 NFL Draft needs no introduction to that fact.
Taken at No. 67 overall that year, Hurd already entered the league with question marks, namely the fact he was a converted wide receiver during his final college year at Baylor who spent 2014 through 2016 at Tennessee playing as a running back.
