Being the beginning quarterback in a football-mad metropolis like Philadelphia comes with a variety of tasks off the sector. To start with, you need to pander to us by saying one thing easy like “cheesesteaks are nice” or “the Braves actually suck.” Second of all, you need to remember that your each transfer shall be dissected by followers, particularly within the doldrums of summer season earlier than coaching camp begins.
Unrelated to all that…Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts was not too long ago placing in some work with youthful teammates, per Hurts’ Instagram Story.
On this first image it seems to be 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 to be able to bolster their probabilities.
All three deliver a special skillset to the staff that might assist Hurts come September. Wilson is sort of 6-foot-7, Smith scored touchdowns on the bottom, by way of the air, and through return whereas at Texas A&M, and Shipley is a flexible working again whose brother performs lacrosse at Penn (native connection!).
I can’t 100% inform who Hurts is speaking to on this second image, nevertheless it seems to be newly signed wideout Parris Campbell. Coming into his sixth yr within the NFL, 5 in Indianapolis and final yr 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 exhibiting 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 are able to see if any of those additional periods with Hurts paid off for the younger guys seeking to make the staff.
