The Indianapolis Colts will reportedly have Georgia State wide receiver Ted Hurst in for a pre-draft visit. Greg Cosell, one of the best in the NFL draft business, recently had high praise for Hurst and his film.
“I really like this kid on tape,” Cosell said on the Ross Tucker Podcast. “Now obviously, he played at Georgia State, it’s not a Power 4 school, they were terrible this season, I think he’s one of the most intriguing wide receiver prospects in this class. Size, speed, stride length, that’s his profile.”

Cosell continued, “There will be questions about his level of competition, but you’re talking about a long, dynamic receiver. He was a weapon at all three levels of the defense. Like I always say about players like this, if he showed the same traits profile with this kind of production in a Power 4 conference, we’d be talking about him as a first-round pick, without question.”
During the last two seasons, Hurst has nearly hit the 1,000-yard mark each year. In 2024, he totaled 961 yards, while this past year, Hurst recorded 999 yards. He’s scored 15 total touchdowns during that span, per PFF.
Cosell also noted that Hurst did deal with some drops, but there were also plenty of instances of him catching the ball cleanly on the move and then turning that into yards after the catch.

Whether down the field or with the ball in his hands, Hurst has showcased his ability to generate big plays.
At the NFL combine, he posted a Relative Athletic Score of 9.90 out of 10, featuring a 4.42-second 40-yard dash at nearly 6-4, 206 pounds.
After trading Michael Pittman recently, the Colts‘ need at receiver grew, with the team needing some added competition for that WR3 role.
