Olamide Zaccheaus signed a one-year deal to join the Philadelphia, and the prospect of catching passes from Jalen Hurts played a significant role in his addition.
The New Jersey native and former St. Joe’s Prep star has spent about three months with the Eagles, and his most significant takeaway is Hurts’ maturity level, and the “respect he commands.”
During a sitdown with John Clark, Zaccheaus and D’Andre Swift compared Hurts to a 35-year-old.
“He’s turning 35 next year! 😂 He’s a lot older than he looks. You can see the respect he commands throughout the building.”
