Jimmy Garoppolo discusses Jalen Hurd
Niners quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo was asked about wide receiver Jalen Hurd during an interview on 95.7 The Game. The wideout has yet to appear in an NFL game since the Niners made him a third-round draft pick in 2019.
Hurd missed his rookie campaign due to a back injury and all of last season after suffering a torn ACL during training camp.
"Jay, he's come a long way. He really has," Garoppolo said. "I mean, route running, just developing his body, and becoming a pro. ... I'm dying to get him out there right now. I really am. He's such a physical freak, just the things he can do and his route-running with the ball in his hands. It's very impressive. And so, hopefully, we can put those on display and get him out there as soon as possible."
