Defensive tackle Maurice Hurst doesn't sound too concerned about the heart issue he's been dealing with.
Hurst took part in Michigan's pro day Friday after being held out of drills at the combine a few weeks ago. He was cleared for pro day
Billy Price Jersey , and he indicated he also had to deal with this issue back when he was a freshman. He said he was tested and cleared then as well.
He did not go into details about his exact diagnosis, but he said he was a bit surprised he was held out at the combine.
"I think it was just the fact that I had not had any testing done recently," Hurst said. "A lot of times the combine will play it safe."
Hurst underwent more testing since then. He said he was confident he'd be able to play again.
Hurst had 5 1/2 sacks last season for the Wolverines and was a first-team All-American. He is considered a top prospect at defensive tackle for this
year's draft. His father played for the New England Patriots as a cornerback for
seven seasons.
Michigan said Hurst ran a 40-yard dash in 4.91 seconds , and Hurst says he doesn't expect teams to think differently about him after his health issues
these last few weeks.
"I think they're viewing me exactly the same as before," he said. "If you're cleared

Richie Incognito, the NFL offensive lineman who was once suspended for bullying a teammate, was taken into
custody Wednesday for psychiatric examination after an incident at a Florida
gym.
Boca Raton police spokeswoman Jessica Desir said officers received a call Wednesday morning from a patron at Life Time Gym about a disturbance involving
Incognito. He was taken into custody under Florida's Baker Act, which allows for
involuntary psychiatric commitment for people seen as a danger to themselves or
others. She did not have details about the disturbance.
The 34-year-old Incognito announced this year that he was retiring after 11 seasons in the NFL, the last three with the Buffalo Bills. The Bills released
him from their reserved/retired list on Monday
Jarrod Dyson Jersey , leaving open the possibility he could sign with another team.
The four-time Pro Bowl selection has had a series of troubles. Incognito was among the players identified for targeting teammate Jonathan Martin in the Miami
Dolphins' bullying scandal during the 2013 season. The NFL suspended Incognito
for the final half of the season and he was eventually released by Miami before
being reinstated by the league the following offseason.
Incognito was out of football for 18 months before the Bills provided him a second chance by signing him to a one-year contract.
Incognito has been on a downward spiral for much of this offseason.
His closest friend on the Bills, center Eric Wood, is being forced into retirement after being diagnosed with a career-ending neck injury in
January.
The Bills also asked Incognito to take a pay cut in restructuring the final year of his contract. Incognito initially backed the agreement by posting a note
on Twitter saying he was "thrilled to be returning this season and fired up to
get back to work with my Buffalo Bills brothers."
He, however, had a change of heart weeks later when Incognito abruptly fired agent David Dunn in a post on Twitter.
A week later
Andrew Benintendi Jersey , Incognito posted a series of vague Tweets which eventually led to him announcing his retirement. He included the accounts of the
NFL Players' Association and the union's assistant executive director, George
Atallah, by posting a note that read, "I'm done," followed" by a winking emoji
with its tongue stuck out.
He sent the same message in a text to The Associated Press later in the day.
Incognito continued posting a variety of tweets over the next five days before abruptly stopping. He hasn't tweeted since posting his last messages on
April 15
Phillip Gaines Jersey Bills , in which he said he was visiting his mother in New Jersey.
