Jalen Hurts has established himself as the Eagles’ starting quarterback and the three-year process could be featured as a ‘TED Talk’ or ‘Masterclass’ on perseverance, hard work, and trusting your process.
The former second-round pick went from potential career backup and fill-in for Carson Wentz to the most talked-about athlete in Philadelphia, and a legit MVP candidate.
Hurts recently made NFL history, and his 23 rushing touchdowns in his first 32 starts, the most in league history for a quarterback in that span.
In the win over the Giants, Hurts completed 21-of-31 passes for 217 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions and ran for 77 yards on seven carries.
He’s now the only player in NFL history with at least 6,200 passing yards and 1,500 rushing yards in his first 32 NFL starts, and he recently became the 20th player with at least 200 passing yards, 75 rushing yards, two touchdown passes, and one touchdown run in the same game.
With Philadelphia headed to Chicago to face a similar player in Justin Fields, we’re looking at the three-year progression and Hurts’ first 32 starts.
