Wide receiver Allen Hurns has agreed to a four-year contract extension with the Jacksonville Jaguars, the team announced Thursday.
Pro Football Talk first reported the news, the contract worth more than $10 million annually. Albert Breer of the MMQB reports Hurns will make $20 million guaranteed.
Hurns caught 64 passes for 1,031 yards and 10 touchdowns last season, becoming the youngest undrafted player in NFL history to post 1,000 receiving yards and double-digit scores in one season. He at one point held a seven-game touchdown streak, from Sept. 27 to Nov. 15.
"We are excited for Allen and his family and this is very well deserved," said Jaguars general manager Dave Caldwell in a statement. "He is an extremely hardworking player and is so dedicated to his craft. Since the day he arrived, he's been a consummate professional and is a great representative of the Jaguars in the community. He continues to impress our coaching staff on a daily basis and has certainly earned the respect of his teammates. Our organizational philosophy is to reward our homegrown players when the opportunity presents itself. Hurnsy is a clear example of that."
Hurns signed with Jacksonville out of the University of Miami after going undrafted in 2014. He has 1,708 yards and 16 touchdowns in his first 31 games, records for an undrafted player in his first two seasons.
