NFL Rumors: More Eagles Players Believe Jalen Hurts Could Be a Franchise-QB

Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has not yet been officially named as a defending starting team, not to mention that the organization considers him a franchising quarterback. However, his performance on the field and in the locker room may change the minds of some people.

ESPN analyst Jordan Schultz tweeted that Hurts is fast starting to win more people on the team, and many believe he can be the defender of the future. Schultz added that his teammates notice Hurts ’skill as well as work ethic and other intangible benefits that are shocking about what Hurts does on and off the field.

The disadvantages of leadership and the ability to build chemistry with their teammates have not been questioned. Hurts must prove that he can consistently play at a high level on the field and continue to develop his game, such as accuracy.

Hurts started the last four games of the 2020 season by completing 52% of their passes with 1,061 yards, six touches and four abductions. During practice camp, Hurts ’release has looked faster than last season, accuracy has improved with each practice, and he seems to have a good idea of ​​the attack, recognizing the approaching flashes and changing the game.

Hurts has taken all the attacks with a first-team attack and figures to get at least a year to prove he can play at the level a franchising quarterback should.

Trade rumors have surrounded the Eagles, and the team is tied to Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson. However, when Watson deals with allegations of sexual abuse, it is difficult to know when he would be playable because the outcome of the investigations has not been decided and is still pending.

If Hurts is able to consistently move the attack down to the field and keep the Eagles at play this season, the team may well use most of the 10 drafts in the 2022 draft so they can continue to build around him and help him reach his potential.
