Sam Hurd (born April 24, 1985 in San Antonio, Texas) is an American football wide receiver in the NFL for the Dallas Cowboys. Sam Hurd is the son of Sameul Hurd Jr. and Gloria Corbin. He has five brothers and sisters and a wife Stacee Hurd.
[edit] College career
At Northern Illinois University, he paired with P.J. Fleck, Shantone Powers and Dan Sheldon to form one of the best wide receiver tandems in the MAC. Hurd helped NIU to a victory in the 2004 Silicon Valley Football Classic in a game that was delayed nearly 40 minutes due to a power outage. Once power was restored, ESPN announcers Pam Ward and Mike Tomczak called the Huskies big win over Troy State University. In his career at NIU he amassed 143 receptions (tied for fifth in school history), 2,323 yards (second in school history) and 21 receiving touchdowns (third in school history).
[edit] NFL career
Against the Houston Texans in the 2006 season, Hurd recorded his first NFL reception on Tony Romo's first NFL pass (34 yards). Four weeks later, Hurd got his first start against the Arizona Cardinals recording four catches for 42 yards and also caught a touchdown pass that was negated due to offensive pass interference against Patrick Crayton. He ended the 2006 season with 5 catches for 75 yards and collected 11 tackles while also forcing 2 fumbles along with recovering 2 fumbles, while playing on special teams.
[edit] Personal life
Beginning in 2007, Sam Hurd will co-host "Inside the Huddle", a one-hour player commentary show that airs on live on 105.3FM Radio in Dallas as well as a 30 minute show on FSN Southwest television along with quarterback Tony Romo.
