A.J. Brown refutes report of Eagles’ QB Jalen Hurts struggling during OTAs

Philadelphia Eagles star wide receiver A.J. Brown comes to Jalen Hurts’ defense over report on quarterback’s alleged struggles during OTAs

We’re just 15 days away from the start of the Eagles training camp and that means plenty of talk about Jalen Hurts, Jonathan Gannon, and Philadelphia’s playoff prospects for 2022.

Jalen Hurts had a solid and impressive offseason by all accounts and as the Eagles closed out OTAs, the third-year quarterback reportedly lit up the defense with timely decisions and accurate throws.

Dallas Goedert and other Philadelphia offensive players praised Hurts throughout the offseason, but that hasn’t stopped the rumor mill from cycling back to Hurts potentially getting replaced in 2023.

In a recent episode of Sports Take, longtime Eagles insider Derrick Gunn had this to say Hurts reportedly struggling during one of his final offseason workouts.

A.J. Brown immediately jumped on the comments and was having none of the reports, disputing the notion and putting some media members on notice that any unwarranted criticism of Hurts will be defended by those closest to the quarterback.

Social media reacts to everything and this Monday morning controversy had fans, the media, and Lane Johnson all weighed in.

In a move that should finally get Jalen Hurts over the hump, the Eagles will acquire wide receiver A.J. Brown from the Titans for the No. 18 overall pick in Thursday night’s draft and another third-round pick.

Drafted by the Titans in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft out of Ole Miss, Brown had 52 catches for 1,051 yards and 8 touchdowns as a rookie.

In 2020, Brown logged 70 catches for 1,075 yards and 11 touchdowns but saw his numbers drop in 2021, after the addition of Julio Jones.

In 2021, Brown logged 63 catches for 869-yards and 5 touchdowns in 13 games, and he’ll now team with DeVonta Smith and Quez Watkins to form a talented trio.
