The Philadelphia Eagles have gone from being uncertain about feeding Jalen Hurts to much information, to comfortably carving out schemes for the athletic rookie quarterback to flourish in goal-line situations.
Hurts had another great day in pads, especially in the red zone, where the former Oklahoma All-American made a case for a nice goal line or red zone package this season.
According to Zach Berman of The Athletic, the Eagles have continued to involve Hurts frequently in red-zone situations during training camp.
Jalen Hurts continues to get a lot of work, especially in RZ. Eagles are putting him on the move often.

Hurts has been compared to New Orleans Saints quarterback Taysom Hill, particularly in the red zone. His ability as a dual-threat would definitely put stress on the opposing defense but at what cost to Carson Wentz and the Eagles’ natural rhythm?
As a senior at Oklahoma, Hurts had 1,298 rushing yards and 20 rushing touchdowns.
