After an NFL Executive tabbed the Raiders pick of Maurice Hurst as ‘irresponsible’ due to his heart condition, new Raiders coach Jon Gruden made sure to have his new DTs back:
Jon Gruden on DT Mo Hurst Jr.'s heart: "I'm not going to answer any more health questions on Hurst. I realize there's a lot of ghost stories out there about unnamed sources … I hope you just judge him on the field. He's been cleared medically, and I'll just leave it at that."

Jon Gruden on Raiders rookie DTs P.J. Hall (second round) and Mo Hurst Jr. (fifth): "We felt they were the top two inside rushers in this draft.”
