How Maurice Hurst II ended up back with the Browns (and why he’s so happy about it)

Really happy we were able to bring Hurst back into the fold! His brief interview shows he’s really happy to be back.
Some excerpts:
>I was super excited to be with this team and excited with what we were doing and what Coach (Jim) Schwartz brings. And them taking the chance on me made all that more meaningful to be back here and helping this team win in whatever way possible.
>Hurst played in all four of the Browns preseason games, recording eight total QB pressures and 2.0 sacks, showing off his strength as an interior rusher.
>He did a really nice job just going back all the way to the spring to the summer, the preseason games,” Kevin Stefanski said last week. “He acquitted himself well in all those reps that he got. A veteran, like you mentioned. Knows this game, knows how to operate in this scheme. So excited to have him.
>Dalvin Tomlinson called Hurst one of the “biggest technicians” along the line over the summer, and Hurst really took to becoming the guy his teammates came to with questions.
>Dalvin has been really influential in helping me progress and using my hands more and not just jutting up field without hands and not really knowing how to control the man with my hands.
>Hurst missed only one practice due to getting poked in the eye — an injury he still (jokingly) has a gripe about: “I was mad they held me out practice, because I was like, ‘Man, I don’t want to miss anything this year,’” he said. “I wanted to have that perfect attendance going into the season, but certain things happened, so now I have a cool dark visor on during the games.”
Besides moving on from Joe Woods, rebuilding the interior of the D-Line might be the most important thing we did this offseason. Tomlinson, Harris and Hurst could be tremendous this year.
