Jalen Hurts has been tipped to win the NFL's MVP award this season after what has been a hugely impressive year, marking a huge step up from his first two seasons.
The second-round draft pick from Oklahoma had to wait for his chance to become starter at Philadelphia, spending his first season as Carson Wentz' back-up, before having a less than convincing first year as the main man in 2021. But this season, Hurts has hugely elevated his game, ranking close to the top of efficiency ratings as a passer, whilst being one of the more dangerous rushing quarterbacks in the game.
During his time with Alabama, Hurts had always been more of a rushing threat than a solid passer, with the Crimson Tide eventually benching him for now Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. Hurts transferred to Oklahoma, where he impressed in his final year before being drafted by the Eagles in the second round.
