Ad Disclosure
Former Tennessee running back Jalen Hurd is rumored to try a position switch to tight end or wide receiver at whichever school he decides to attend next.
One former NFL player doesn’t think that’s the best idea.
If Im advising @MrHurd_1 I would tell him to stay at RB. Still a highly draft able player. If switch to TE id work with him

Frank Wycheck, who is now a sports radio host in Nashville after an 11-year career as an NFL tight end, tweeted Wednesday that he believes Hurd should stay at running back. But Wycheck, a three-time Pro Bowl selection, said he would train with Hurd if he transitioned to tight end.
Hurd’s position switch is still just a rumor, and he’s probably a long way off from deciding where he’ll be transferring. But having such a successful former NFL tight end as a mentor would be a huge boon for Hurd if he ends up changing positions after all.
