Eagles star Jalen Hurts shares the 'underrated' aspect of quarterbacking

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts almost led the team to victory at Super Bowl 2023. Due to his disciplined approach and performance, he earned a massive $255 million five-year contract till 2028. Despite his high-paying deal, Hurts maintains a low profile, often focusing on his goal; to improve each day.

Matthew Roberson of GQ Sports asked the Eagles QB about his post-game activity. Hunter revealed that he follows a strict routine to check the film after each game.

“It’s a fun process! Honestly, it’s an underrated thing when it comes to quarterbacking: learning from the game and moving on to the next opponent,” he said.

Jalen Hurts would watch the film on plane

The Eagles have an 11-2 record this season thus far. Hurts has posted solid numbers with 2,602 passing yards, 20 touchdowns and five interceptions. In order to do better, he reviews the film on the plane after each game.

“No, I watch the film. Again, I think about the routine. There’s always an eagerness to see what I could have done better. I even have the same routine for home games,” he said.

The 26-year-old said that he follows the same process for home games as well.

“I go down to my office, watch the game, and be very critical of myself. Nothing changes on the plane. I think watching film on the plane, as a quarterback, you get the opportunity to immediately talk to your teammates about what you saw and get everyone’s opinions. I get the opportunity to talk to my coaches, as well, about areas of improvement,” Hurts added.

Everything is alright between AJ Brown and Jalen Hurts

When the Eagles faced the Panthers last Sunday, Hurts managed to pass for 108 yards on 21 attempts. After the game, wide receiver AJ Brown commented about Hurts' passing ability and that he has an area for improvement, leading to rumors of a rift between him and Hurts.

However, head coach Nick Sirianni addressed the situation on Tuesday, clarifying:

“Jalen and A.J. are both really outstanding people and both really outstanding players. I love that our players are wanting to get better and desire to get better, and that's what we talk about all of the time—how we get better and be able to do things that are special.”

Sirianni confirmed that Brown’s comments were aimed at the overall performance of the offense.
