Jalen Hurts Working Out With DeSean Jackson
4 years agoPhiladelphia Eagles rookie quarterback Jalen Hurts has been working out with teammate DeSean Jackson. Hurts posted videos on his Instagram account on Monday, showing the second-rounder working out in Florida with the veteran wide receiver. Jackson is recovering from core muscle surgery and Hurts is trying to impress his coaches after coach Doug Pederson (somewhat) recently said Hurts, "needs to learn and pick up our system." Hurts is expected to begin the season as the number three quarterback behind starter Carson Wentz and 2016 sixth-rounder Nate Sudfeld, but the Eagles certainly didn't spend a second round pick to draft a third string quarterback. Hurts may be a direct backup for the somewhat oft-injured Wentz, or he may end up seeing work in something more like a Taysom Hill role. There's a wide range of outcomes for Hurts this season and going forward.
