The Eagles completed their off-season workout program on Thursday. As the team breaks until late July, star quarterback Jalen Hurts will likely remain a constant fixture at the NovaCare Complex.
The All-Pro quarterback has seen his hunger for success grow since losing the Super Bowl to Patrick Mahomes and signing a new five-year, $255 million extension.
During his final offseason press conference, head coach Nick Sirianni raved about Hurts and his continued improvement.
Sirianni went even more in-depth about the MVP runner-up.
“I do, I see another jump in everything that he’s done with accuracy, with the decision making. We’re doing 7-on-7, so there is no rush, so there’s no pass rush except for the guys that are walking at him with the bags. But [Assistant Equipment Manager] Peter [Gould], our equipment manager, is not going to make a sack on him in that particular case.”
“But I do see his development continuing. That’s what we talk about with Jalen all the time. I don’t know what his ceiling is because he just keeps getting better, and he’s going to continue to do that.”
“So, I’ve seen that same jump, the speed with which he makes the decision, the accuracy of his throws. He’s really had a good spring.”
Hurts took a significant leap as a passer in 2022, rising from 19th (54.6) to fourth (66.4) in QBR and 26th (61.3%) to 11th (66.5%) in completion percentage.
Hurts saw his average time before throw drop from 3.12 seconds (31st) to 2.76 seconds (16th) on average, and the Eagles believe he can reach an elite level in 2023.
