For James Hurst and John Urschel, Experience Is in Their Favor
Posted Jun 23, 2017
Former UNC offensive lineman James Hurst lined up at left tackle for the Baltimore Ravens, becoming the first undrafted rookie in NFL history to ever start a playoff game at that position. John Urschel started at right guard. Both players have been offensive line fill-ins over their first three years. And now both are contenders to take over starting roles this season.
