Times are definitely changing in Philadelphia and after years of having one of the oldest rosters in the NFL, the Eagles have an influx of young talent.
Philadelphia had been shut out of the top 25 players under 25 lists for the past three years now, but Jalen Hurts finally resolved the conflict.
The World Wide Network recently had NFL and NFL draft analysts Matt Bowen, Matt Miller, and Jordan Reid work together to compile a list of the top 25 players in the NFL currently under the age of 25.
ESPN just released their latest rankings and the Eagles quarterback landed at No. 9 on the list.
9. Jalen Hurts, QB, Philadelphia Eagles
Age: 24Hurts is the picture of the modern quarterback, with an ability to beat defenses with his legs, intermediate timing passing and stretching the field vertically. He’s efficient, instinctive and explosive. Hurts has risen from Day 2 draft prospect in 2020 to franchise quarterback in 2022, leading the Eagles to 10-1 atop the NFC. His 60 career touchdowns (39 passing, 21 rushing) tell the story of his dual-threat ability, and his completion percentage made a jump from 61.3% last year to 67.3% this year. — Miller
Micah Parsons was No. 1 on the list, followed by Justin Jefferson, Ja’Marr Chase, Tristan Wirfs, and Justin Herbert in the top five.
Names like Nakobe Dean (21), and Landon Dickerson could eventually make the list.
