Jalen Hurts has ideal mentality to help Eagles meet expectations with new star power | Opinion

The Philadelphia Eagles’ trade for safety Chauncey Gardner-Johnson this week — along with their acquisition of marquee new star receiver A.J. Brown and others this offseason — has only raised expectations for quarterback Jalen Hurts.

The Eagles don’t want to just make the playoffs to be ousted after one game like they were by Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last season. They want to be one of the last teams standing.

And while that comes with massive pressure for Hurts – their third-year starter still trying to navigate his way in the NFL – he has the temperament needed to help the Eagles reach new heights in 2022.

It’s simple for Hurts. He calls it: Chasing growth every day.
