“He turned me into the player I am today,” Hurst said. “I owe a lot of my success to him. He threw me in there at tight end after I was a receiver and wonderful things happened after that.”
Hurst had 30 catches for 349 yards and 2 touchdowns for the Ravens in 2019. We’ll see if the Falcons make him a bigger part of their offense.
