A decade in prison for attempting to buy cocaine as someone with no previous criminal record seems excessive but I always had a soft spot for Hurd. I'm sure he'll turn his life around. I remember he was a popular player in the locker room when he was in Dallas.
Let me add, Zordon from the fiuture, the Hurd lad was buying and selling da sativa by the truckload. It may not have been in the official charge, me barrister.

What I buy is better than what he was selling and it is legal for me to buy it

Here's hoping he'll restore what's left of his life into a better future. He'll get a second chance to go straight. Good luck, Sam!

I’m pretty sure this lengthy sentence dissuaded most, if not all, from trying to do the same. The drug war is almost won.

yeah, poor ole Sam. He was probably on his way to church and was flagged down and asked if wanted to buy some cotton candy. He didn't even know it had cocaine in it. Poor ole Sam.

He didn’t go to jail for just buying cocaine. He was trying to build an entire empire of selling it The complaint alleged Hurd had negotiated to pay $25,000 per kilogram of cocaine, and another $450 per pound of marijuana.
No worse than the cia

SI had a good article about this. I'm not sure if I am allowed to link it but it isn't hard to find. There was a little more to the story than just Hurd trying to build an empire and it shed a little light on what might have been/is a cocaine problem in the NFL.

Good luck to him!

As the I-Team reported in 2016, Hurd claimed he'd been rehabilitated and deserved an early release. A judge denied that request for release.
Three weeks ago, the Bureau of Prisons released him early and sent him for processing in San Antonio where he has either been relocated to a halfway house or put on home confinement. The BOP has not responded to I-Team requests for clarification.
