After all the questions surrounding the Eagles and their quarterback Jalen Hurts in the 2024 offseason, Hurts would be looking to prove his doubters wrong in the upcoming 2024 season once again, like he did before in 2022.

During his tenure at Alabama, he even won a CFP national championship game. By most accounts, he was a solid, if unspectacular, quarterback. In the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft, the Philadelphia Eagles selected him with the 53rd overall pick. After getting the starting job in the 2021 season, Hurts turned in a solid season, even being named to the Pro Bowl as an NFC alternate. Further, he led all quarterbacks in rushing yards and touchdowns.
His 2022 season is when he truly took over, though. After finishing the season with a ridiculous 14-1 record, Hurts solidified himself as one of the best signal callers in the league. He had 3700 passing yards and a 101.5 quarterback rating, while also getting named to his first career Pro Bowl. His magical run did not stop there as he went on to lead Philly all the way to the Super Bowl, where they came up short against the mighty Chiefs. But, the next year was the complete opposite of 2022. Not only did the Eagles get blown out in the Wild Card round against the Buccaneers but Jalen Hurts threw for career-high 15 interceptions in the 2023 regular season.
