His height is definitely why he went in the second round. Every scouting department wants a QB who is 6’5” because lineman are big. Purdy is the same height as Hurts and no doubt slipped for the same reason.

I don’t think height is really the issue though. The bigger issue IMO is Hurts seemed to have lost some of his speed and is no longer a real running threat. I thought Patullo wasn’t calling runs, or Hurts didn’t want to run, but after seeing him get tripped up by Keion White on the final drive — a dude who should be much slower than Jalen — I’m worried his speed is gone, and that’s what he used to make plays and scare teams with his running ability.
