Oklahoma quarterback Jalen Hurts will speak to the media and begin the interview process with NFL teams on Tuesday at the combine, an event he hopes to slay this week to improve his draft stock ahead of his Pro Day in April. Reluctant to try his talents at another position this week, Hurts measured in at combine on Monday and was not undersized as some had feared (6-1, 222).

Hurts threw for 3,851 yards and 32 touchdowns last season with the Sooners while completing 69.7 percent of his passes. He also rushed for another nearly 1,298 yards and 20 scores to finish second behind Joe Burrow in the Heisman race. His 61 runs for a first down were the most among non-option quarterbacks as he helped Lincoln Riley's offense produce another statistically-dominant campaign.

How will Hurts' skills translate to the NFL? After a so-so week at the Senior Bowl last month, he'll need to put his best foot forward as a passer in Indianapolis in front of dozens of scouts and NFL evaluators.

"Let me tell you something about Jalen Hurts, man," NFL Network analyst James Jones said during the Senior Bowl broadcast. "He is a dog, and he has heart. Man I'm telling you, you can watch all the film you want, but hey, you can't measure that. He shows that day-in and day-out whenever he steps on the field."
