Is the pressure on for former Alabama (and current Oklahoma) QB Jalen Hurts?
At the 2019 NFL Draft on Thursday night in Nashville, Heisman-winning Oklahoma QB Kyler Murray was taken with the No. 1 overall pick. That’s the second year in a row that an Oklahoma quarterback was taken No. 1 overall after winning the Heisman Trophy.
How much pressure does that put on Hurts? After Murray went No. 1 overall, Hurts sent out a simple two-word tweet:
Well lol..

That seems about right. Can Hurts be the third-straight Oklahoma quarterback to win the Heisman and become the first pick?
The odds seem stacked against him, but Murray’s Heisman odds weren’t that great at this point last year, either, so anything is possible.
