What did Jalen Hurts score on the Wonderlic test? Revisiting Eagles QB's pre-draft numbers

Jalen Hurts has become the face of the Philadelphia Eagles since joining the team in 2020. The second-round pick became the starting quarterback for the franchise midway through his rookie season.

Although it was initially reported that Hurts scored 18/50 on his Wonderlic test, SI's Albert Breer later revealed that the signal-caller had scored 21 on the test. His score is considered relatively low for quarterbacks, which was initially a cause of concern for the Philadelphia organization.

However, Hurts has proved himself as a reliable quarterback in recent years. He also led the Eagles to the Super Bowl in 2023, but his team lost to the Kansas City Chiefs in the big game.

Hurts played three seasons with Alabama and won the national championship in 2017. He then joined the Oklahoma Sooners in 2019 before declaring for the draft.

Here's a look at Hurts' results from his performances at the 2020 NFL Combine:

• 40 Yard Dash: 4.59 seconds
• 20 Yard Split: 2.65 seconds
• 10 Yard Split: 1.60 seconds
• Vertical Leap: 35.0 inches

Although Hurts' Wonderlic test score did not impress many, he was able to flaunt his athletic ability with his 40-yard dash, which he completed in 4.59 seconds. He also recorded a 35-inch vertical leap at the Combine.
