So Whatever Happened to That DB We Drafted from WV?

He was up here in Winnipeg and got cut from the Bombers.

Basically all you need to know.

I was excited when we drafted him

Edit: his Wikipedia page says he's still here, so maybe he is. Also I saw Toney Clemons name and Darvin Adams name as well on the roster for this season. I expect both to make the team

It was a dumb pick.  I know that seems obvious in hindsight, but Hurney spent the 1st pick of the 4th round on a CB coming off of a torn ACL with a laundry list of off-field issues.  That's the type of guy that almost always goes undrafted.  To make matters worse, he spent the pick before that, the last pick of the 3rd round on the legendary Sione Fua.

He never fully recovered from his injury. To say he simply sucked and that he had a terrible work habit is a bit of a simplification of the situation.

Yeah, on that note, he clearly didn't suck the few times he played.

    • T-Mac is a nickname, Tet is a shortening of Tetairoa. Like you said below... your name is Jonathan, I could see "Jonny" being considered a nickname, but Jon isn't a nickname, it's a shortening of Johnathan, see the difference? And if your mom named you Jonathan for it's biblical significance/meaning, because she was very religious, I think it would be different. T-Mac is Polynesian, so much in their culture has deeper meaning for them, particularly names.  So for his mom to feel this way, I highly doubt it's just because she likes the name Tetairoa and not Tet, it's much more likely than not to be because the name itself has a deeper meaning in their culture.   Particularly as T-Mac himself has often talked about how much his Polynesian heritage means to himself and his family. And no, I'm not saying all this because of how much he's my guy, if he was just "normal american" and his name was Jonathan and he didn't like fans calling him Jon, I'd probably just say tough poo.  It's that he's Polynesian and I know things like names have a much deeper meaning in their culture than they do in ours for the most part. For whatever it's worth, a quick google search.......
