Jalen Hurts has always operated like a seasoned general on the field. The Eagles' QB1 commands his offense with a quiet intensity. Now, as the 2025 season looms... his leadership is being tested anew. Meanwhile, the front office just made an unlikely late-summer move.
It’s a classic NFL gambit, like a baseball team trading for a veteran slugger at the deadline. Now, that new weapon is receiver John Metchie III. And Hurts confirmed their brief, overlapping time at Alabama at the end of the camp.
“Well, I missed him by a couple days... Well, I had him for a week or so,” Hurts said, reminiscing with a grin.
