Over the last 7 games (preseason included), We've seen the emergence of Allen Hurns. An undrafted rookie FA from Fisch's college team. Through three games, He has accumulated 7 rec, 186 yards, 3 TDs. The fact that he is even on the team is a miracle much less what he is doing now.

 

The questions begin. Is he for real? NFL is littered with one season wonders in the perfect situation that light up the world only to fall back down to earth the next year. What does he show that proves he will continue to have sustained success?

 

 

 

 

My analysis: Him knowing the offense coming in has allowed him to play at a higher speed than most of the other WR's and led to his ascension on the depth chart. Once he hit the regular season, I expected him to disappear but he didn't. Why? Because he is making ridiculous cuts in his routes which is getting him open. Thats the big one. He gets open. Perhaps as good as any receiver I've seen. Hurns isn't blowing by people or making tough catches. He is just simply out-cutting them and getting open. I don't think Hurns will ever be a true #1 receiver but he could settle in as a #2 and have a nice long successful career.
