Hankerson was more dominant and had more upside but Hurns is much more consistent and dependent. Even though he does not have the speed to break away from defenders, he makes up for it by being able to catch balls in traffic consistently. If he goes to a team with a very good qb, that qb can get him the ball without him being so open.
Hurns has shown constant improvement over the years and maximizes his skill set. I've always felt there was something lacking with Hankerson but could not put my finger on it. Still seems Hankerson just can't put everything together. I see Hurns having a place in the league as a 3 or 4 wr.
