Cleveland Browns: 3 reasons for interviewing Jalen Hurts
By Grant Puskar

The Cleveland Browns had former Alabama and Oklahoma quarterback Jalen Hurts in for a formal interview. But why?
Baker Mayfield is the quarterback of the future for the Cleveland Browns as of now. Despite the struggles that he had last year, there were tons of exterior factors that led to his poor play, things like coaching and locker room trouble. As he looks to bounce back and lead the Browns to a successful season, it is time for the front office to focus on improving the roster though this year’s upcoming draft.
In a new episode that came out of “Building the Browns”, Jalen Hurts was shown talking to Kevin Stefanski and Andrew Berry during a formal meeting session. Given the Browns current quarterback situation, why on earth would they use a formal interview time slot on a quarterback?
Hurts was a star at Alabama before transferring to Oklahoma with the emergence of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. From throwing 23 touchdowns in 2016, to still throwing 17 in 2017 but at the same time having only one interception, there is no question he can ball. In Hurts senior year at Oklahoma, he threw for 3,851 yards with 32 touchdowns and 8 interceptions.
Again, it goes without saying that he has the potential to be a decent quarterback in the NFL. He does not have an arm that would overpower you, he is decent when it comes to accuracy, but he is mobile. Taking all of this in, why would the Browns use the time to interview him?
