LOOK: Eagles QB Jalen Hurts sporting his new No. 1 jersey

Jalen Hurts enters his second season as the starter at quarterback, the recipient of a big-time weapon on the outside and switching to jersey No. 1 for the 2021 NFL season.

Hurts and the Eagles gave fans a first look at his new number during the team’s media/promo day at the NovaCare Complex.

Hurts is looking to take the next steps as a passer after he completed just 52% of his passes for 1,061 yards, 6 touchdowns, 4 interceptions, and a passer rating of 77.6.

If the second-year passer can improve his accuracy, while continuing to punish defenses in the running game, the Eagles could be a darkhorse playoff contender.

Jalen Hurts is switching his number to No. 1 after the Eagles announce new jersey numbers for the 2021 season

The Eagles announced on Friday new jersey numbers for free-agent additions, as well as some returning veterans.

Among the notable switches was Jalen Hurts, who’ll be returning to the No. 1 he wore at the University of Oklahoma, moving on from No. 2, which he wore as a rookie.

Hurts is the Eagles’ new starting quarterback, so the number one seems appropriate, and it’ll also spice up the longstanding debate surrounding Carson Wentz, who switched his number to 2 with the Indianapolis Colts.
