NFC East franchise Philadelphia Eagles endured a tough outing in the NFL last year. Doug Pederson’s boys slumped to a fourth-placed finish in their division last year. Quarterback Carson Wentz had a forgettable season with the Eagles, which resulted in a fallout with coach Pederson towards the end of the regular season. Hence, Jalen Hurts replaced him.

The former Oklahoma Sooners man showed flashes of brilliance, throwing for 1,061 yards with 6 passing TDs. He further rushed for 354 yards with 3 rushing TDs to his name.

Despite coach Pederson’s departure this summer, Hurts is expected to be Philly’s first-choice quarterback when the season starts.

“I feel like the sky is the limit for Jalen. He’s a very hard worker and I know he’s not going to take any opportunity he gets for granted. So I’m just excited to see how his future unfolds,” Howard said at a recent press meet. (h/t NBC Sports)

After the high-profile departure of Carson Wentz to the Indianapolis Colts, the Eagles brought in veteran NFL QB Joe Flacco as a backup for Hurts. The Eagles are definitely a team under transition. It does not seem like one season will be enough for them to challenge for the playoffs once again.

This is a work in progress. But coach Sirianni will be happy that he has a young quarterback with an extensive skill-set already on his roster. Whether he can help him reach his true potential is a different conversation altogether.
