Namely, Jalen Hurts was an afterthought in the 2020 NFL Draft. Joe Burrow was the quarterback that everyone coveted that cycle. And NFL “experts” never stopped barking about Hurts losing the starting gig with Alabama. Thus, Hurts was the 53rd player taken in the Draft. It may as well have been 553rd. But Hurts was opportunistic and thrived when he was put in the lineup. As a result, Philadelphia let Carson Wentz go based on confidence in Hurts. Philadelphia is in the betting on NFL playoffs because of that wise decision. Now comes a date at Tampa Bay.
