Baltimore Ravens tight end Hayden Hurst isn’t exactly a household name. I’d be willing to wager a pint of mead that the majority of people outside the 410 area code would confuse him for an extra on Game of Thrones over a spot on a professional football roster.

But the 25-year-old South Carolina product inked a four-year deal with the Ravens worth $11 million featuring a $6.1 million signing bonus last year before hauling in 13 receptions for 163 yards and one touchdown for the Ravens.

With his sophomore season approaching, the 6’5”, 245-pounder is hungrier than ever to prove his worth in the pros. And judging by his recent tweet, it seems as if he could not be thirstier either.

More like Hayden THIRST amiright.

Armed with simply a vague description that could be 75% of the population, Hurst has better luck finding Vince Wilfork at a Sweet Green than locating his missed connection. And with just under 18,000 Twitter followers, it pains me to say that Mr. Thirst doesn’t quite have the social media clout to guarantee this gets seen by the mystery woman.

But, it does guarantee that Hurst will get clowned on by teammates. Insert Ravens strong safety Tony Jefferson…

The internet piled on the hazing for a man just hoping to find a lover in this post-monogamous world.

I hope Hayden finds his crush, but more importantly, I hope that next time he has the stones to approach her in real life.

Matt’s love of writing was born during a sixth grade assembly when it was announced that his essay titled “Why Drugs Are Bad” had taken first prize in D.A.R.E.’s grade-wide contest. The anti-drug people gave him a $50 savings bond for his brave contribution to crime-fighting, and upon the bond’s maturity 10 years later, he used it to buy his very first bag of marijuana.
