WR Ted Hurst, Georgia State
There’s another wide receiver who played college ball in the state of Georgia who has drawn a lot of attention from Falcons fans, but Hurst is the player who immediately caught my eye when I turned on the tape. The 6-foot-3, 206-pound receiver ran a 4.42-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine and is highly explosive. During the 2024 and 2025 seasons, Hurst had 127 catches for 1,965 yards and 15 touchdowns. During his career at Georgia State, 70.9% of Hurst’s receptions went for either a first down or a touchdown. Although there is an expected learning curve at the NFL level, Hurst would enter a situation in Atlanta where he can be a complementary piece instead of the focal point. He looks the part of a top-tier NFL receiver and gives the Falcons another dangerous weapon.
