Jalen Hurt was a second-year quarterback from a contract standpoint in 2021, but after sitting 12 games behind Carson Wentz in 2020, he was essentially a rookie during his historic first season as a starter for the Eagles. - Take out the two games Hurts missed due to injury, and he’s now started 19 regular-season NFL games and one valuable playoff loss to Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. - The reviews have been mixed, but there’s no doubting his ability as a dual-threat and if he can fix the accuracy issues and continue to improve his ability to read defenses, the sky truly is the limit for the Texas native. - One thing going for Hurts is the fact that he’ll enter 2022 with the same offensive coordinator for the first time in his illustrious career dating back to high school. - Hurts was up and down in the loss to the Buccaneers, causing some to question whether he can truly be the Eagles quarterback of the future. - With the 2022 offseason in full swing for Philadelphia, let’s take a look at how Hurts compared to signal-caller in his draft class and the 2021 rookies from this season.
