For every touchdown Jalen Hurts scores this year, his foundation will donate $5,000 to improve air conditioning at 10 additional Philadelphia schools.
Jalen Hurts has spent the last year trying to keep city schools cool during the summer, and he’s taking his efforts to another level. On Friday before kickoff in Sao Paulo, the Jalen Hurts Foundation announced that throughout the 2024 NFL season, for every touchdown the Eagles quarterback scores this year, they will donate $5,000 to improve air conditioning at ten additional Philadelphia schools.

Newlin Fell, Thomas Finletter, Fliter Academic Plus, Benjamin Franklin/Science Leadership Academy, Edward Gideon, Abram Jens, and T. Roosevelt.

Goedert will look to record his first 1,000-yard season.
Calcaterra is a capable pass catcher, and provides special teams depth.
Okwuegbunam Jr. had no role under former offensive coordinator Brian Johnson, and he’s done nothing to separate himself, opening things up for E.J. Jenkins as the third tight end. Armani Rogers is another player to watch.

Matt Hennessy has done nothing to stand out over the first three weeks.
The rookie offensive guard will compete with Tyler Steen for the right guard spot and bring toughness to the roster.

Huff was essentially swapped for Haason Reddick, and he’ll be counted on to produce more than a situational ten sacks.
