Melo calls Jurgens "one of the top mid-round offensive line prospects" in the 2022 NFL Draft. The offensive lineman started every game at center for the Cornhuskers in 2021.
Jurgens is from Beatrice, NE. He earned a pre-draft grade of 5.83 from NFL.com, which equates to an "average backup or special-teams player," per the site's 8-point grading scale.
At the NFL Scouting Combine, the 6-foot-3 and 303-pound Jurgens had a 40-time of 4.92 seconds and 25 reps in the bench press. Jurgens' other measurables include an arm length of 33 3/8 inches and hands measuring 10 inches.
Lance Zierlein of NFL.com wrote the following about Jurgens within his scouting report:
Center prospect with a lack of desired measurables and position versatility that could cap his draft value. Jurgens is quick with above-average athleticism but needs to harness his energy and play with better control in the early stages of the rep to improve his strike zone and success rate. He's a bit of a leaner in pass protection and could struggle to find his anchor against rugged bull rushers. He can play in a variety of run schemes but has average backup talent.
