Philadelphia Eagles - Jalen Hurts
If there is one word to describe Jalen Hurts after the first 3 weeks of 2022-23 NFL action, it would be – Unstoppable! When a player destroys an opponent in just one half, only so that the coach makes his sit on the side-line to not make the outcome/final score a mockery, it speaks volumes about his form and caliber.
Jalen Hurts has taken down the Buffalo and Kansas City Chiefs, both teams who looked like standing firm against the world a matchday prior. There are no two-ways in stating that Jalen Hurts is undoubtedly looking the front runner for the MVP accolade and Ryan Clark was one of many to acknowledge that on his most recent appearance.
Ryan Clark quoted on the latest episode of Get Up, “If you are having any early MVP conversations that do not include Jalen Hurts, you’re actually not having the correct MVP conversation. That how well this team is playing and that’s how well this Quarterback is playing.”
In his most recent game, Jalen Hurts finished his part of the night with 22 for 35 for 340 yards with three TouchDowns and no interception. Moreover, he rushed for nine times for 20 yards. What’s even better? This marquee star gave no stress whatsoever to his pacy legs.
In the first 3 weeks of the 2022-23 NFL Season, Jalen Hurts has four passing TouchDowns, three rushing TouchDowns and a 67.3% completion percentage on a team that has played better than any other in the NFC Division.
The best part is that this seems to be the start of Jalen Hurts’ meteoric rise against the big guns. Having led his team from the front, this electrifying Quarterback has a huge task to inspire his team in the latter half of the season. Will we witness him outrace some of the biggest names in the league to win the biggest individual accolade? Remains to be seen.
