Ted Hurst has dominated recent practices, using his 6-4 frame and 4.42 speed to push for the Buccaneers’ X-receiver spot. Although the team features a deep receiving corps, he is the only TB receiver with the physical profile to play the Mike Evans role. Hurst can secure a major role on offense if his strong play continues through training camp.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers just snagged an athletic demon at No. 84 by drafting Ted Hurst, a 6-foot-4 WR who pairs a blazing 4.42-second 40-yard dash with a dominant 111.0 Speed Score (93rd-percentile). Hurst is an analytical sleeper with a rock-solid 20.2 Breakout Age and a surgical 2.18 Yards Per Route Run, proving he has the frame and high-end explosiveness—verified by a massive 11’3″ broad jump—to serve as the ultimate boundary X-receiver in the post-Mike Evans era.
In dynasty formats, it is absolute nuts landing spot for Hurst as a priority second or third-round rookie target, where his elite 15.4 Yards Per Reception and future potential path to targets in the Bucs’ passing attack behind Chris Godwin and Emeka Egbuka make him instantly one of the more interesting picks in this draft.
