Can Eagles' Jalen Hurts Reach New Heights in 2025?

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has done more in his first four years with the team than any other quarterback in club history. 

Since he became a starter in 2021, the Oklahoma product is a two-time Pro Bowler, an All-Pro, has been to the Super Bowl twice, won once, and is a Super Bowl MVP. Few quarterbacks in history have that kind of record throughout their entire career - let alone their first four seasons. 

As Hurts is preparing for his fifth season as a starter, and sixth in the NFL, expectations around him are split. Some analysts want to see the quarterback take a natural progression as a passer in a similar way that Russell Wilson did when he was a young Super Bowl champion with Seattle. 

Others look past the numbers altogether. So long as Philly wins, Hurts' legacy will remain elite. 

When the Eagles took Hurts in the second round of the 2020 draft, they looked at him in a similar light that they did Wilson back in 2012. They weren't able to get the Wisconsin product then, and were hellbent on making sure that wouldn't happen again eight years later. 

It worked out for them. Hurts has been the kind of leader and winner teams beg for in a starting quarterback. 

Can he reach new heights as a Super Bowl champion now? 

Hurts' numbers aren't bad. He has a career completion percentage of over 64%, has thrown for close to 15,000 yards, and has an 85:39 touchdown-to-interception ratio. These numbers are good. 

They can be a whole lot better. 

That's where Hurts is now. He is a proven winner with the talent around him. If he can improve as a passer and bolster his numbers, his standing as not only one of the best quarterbacks in the league, but the greatest quarterback in franchise history will be unchallenged for good. 

It'll certainly help his future candidacy if he puts up numbers that push for the Hall of Fame as well.
