The moment we’ve been waiting for is finally here. The 2023 NFL season is well underway, and fans are getting to see Jalen Hurts again after his fantastic campaign with the Philadelphia Eagles last year.
The fourth-year quarterback made an impression in 2022 by leading his team all the way to the Super Bowl, where only three points separated them from the ultimate glory.
Hurts’ performance still left a lot to talk about, which is why all eyes are on him now. The 25-year-old is already showing his talent both on air and on the ground, but a rookie quarterback seems to be keeping up with Hurts’ great level.
