Jacksonville Jaguars

2014 season

Hurns was signed by the Jacksonville Jaguars after going undrafted in the 2014 NFL Draft. In his NFL debut on September 7, 2014, against the Philadelphia Eagles, Hurns caught 4 passes for 110 yards and two touchdowns from quarterback Chad Henne. His first two receptions in the first quarter both went for touchdowns, making Hurns only the second wide receiver in NFL history to record touchdowns on his first two catches (Charles Rogers of the Detroit Lions was the other in 2003), and the first rookie to ever score two receiving touchdowns in the first quarter of his first game. [8][9][10] In his rookie season, Hurns would record 51 receptions for 677 receiving yards and six touchdowns.

2015 season

On November 29, 2015, Hurns was hospitalized after a head injury in Week 12's matchup against the San Diego Chargers by hitting his head after attempting a diving catch.[11] He was released from the hospital later that day.[12] Hurns did not practice on December 3, 2015, and remained on concussion protocol.[13] On December 4, 2015, the Jaguars announced that Hurns would not play in Week 13's game against the Tennessee Titans.[14][15] Hurns finished the 2015 season with 64 receptions, 1,031 yards and 10 touchdowns, which all remain his current career highs.[16] As of 2015, Hurns holds the record for most touchdowns in first two seasons for an undrafted free agent in NFL history (16), and was the only wide receiver to score a touchdown in seven straight games, all while playing with a sports hernia. He was ranked 89th by his fellow players on the NFL Top 100 Players of 2016.[17]

2016 season

On June 2, 2016, Hurns signed a four-year extension with the Jaguars worth $40 million, with $20 million guaranteed.[18] Hurns would regress in the 2016 season from his successful season the previous year. He started and appeared in every game up until Week 13. He suffered a hamstring injury against the Buffalo Bills in Week 12 that sidelined him for the rest of the season.[19] In 11 games, he posted career-lows in total receptions with 35, receiving yards with 477, and touchdowns with three.[20]
