Eagles’ Jalen Hurts hears more about adversity than his ability to pile up wins

LA Times

In his four seasons as the Philadelphia Eagles’ starting quarterback, Jalen Hurts led his team to four playoff appearances and two Super Bowls. “Everyone desires that continuity because that consistency definitely does breed something,” Hurts said Wednesday as he continued preparations for Sunday’s Super Bowl against the Kansas City Chiefs. And learning as much as I can, taking in as much knowledge as I can, to be the best player I can be and ultimately lead the team to success.” Hurts, a second-round draft pick in 2020, started four games as a rookie under former coach Doug Pederson’s staff, which did not have an offensive coordinator. “And so I’ve just been very diligent in it, being open-minded, coming in open arms and taking it all in so I can continue my development.” During the 2022 season, Hurts passed for 22 touchdowns with six interceptions en route to a matchup against the Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII.
