Jalen Hurts putting in the work with his teammates

Being the beginning quarterback in a football-mad metropolis like Philadelphia comes with a whole lot of duties off the sector. Initially, it’s a must to pander to us by saying one thing easy like “cheesesteaks are nice” or “the Braves actually suck.” Second of all, it’s a must to bear in mind that your each transfer might be dissected by followers, particularly within the doldrums of summer time earlier than coaching camp begins.

Unrelated to all that…Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts was lately placing in some work with youthful teammates, per Hurts’ Instagram Story.

On this first image it appears to be like like Hurts is engaged on some route ideas with rookies Johnny Wilson (sixth spherical WR), Ainias Smith (fifth spherical WR), and Will Shipley (4th spherical RB). Whereas none of those guys are surefire bets to make the ultimate roster, it’s nice to see that they need to work with QB1 earlier than coaching camp with the intention to bolster their possibilities.

All three carry a unique skillset to the crew that would assist Hurts come September. Wilson is sort of 6-foot-7, Smith scored touchdowns on the bottom, via the air, and by way of return whereas at Texas A&M, and Shipley is a flexible operating again whose brother performs lacrosse at Penn (native connection!).

I can’t 100% inform who Hurts is speaking to on this second image, however it seems to be newly signed wideout Parris Campbell. Coming into his sixth 12 months within the NFL, 5 in Indianapolis and final 12 months with the New York Giants, Campbell is seeking to ship on the appreciable promise he confirmed whereas at Ohio State. I couldn’t presumably start to let you know what Hurts is displaying Campbell right here (one thing together with his footwork???) however in a crowded WR room in Philly, getting any assist from Hurts is assuredly helpful.

Philadelphia ought to get coaching camp going on the finish of July and we will see if any of those additional classes with Hurts paid off for the younger guys seeking to make the crew.
