Jalen Hurts has everyone’s attention in the national media.
After his performance in Philadelphia’s victory over Minnesota, every sports personality is talking about him. Hurts dominated the Vikings — totaling 390 yards offensively, three touchdowns, and an 89.3 percent completion rating in a 24-7 win on Monday Night Football. He has guided the Eagles to a 2-0 start, but Hurts also set a National Football League record in his efforts.

He became the first quarterback in history to record an 80+ percent completion rating, 300+ passing yards, and two rushing touchdowns in a single game. Hurts is one of the most athletic signal-callers in the NFL, but he’s growing as a mature passer.
