Jalen Hurts on the Eagles' potential: There is 'no limit' to growth
Star quarterback Jalen Hurts knows that the future is only up for the Philadelphia Eagles.
As Jalen Hurts heads into another offseason as the Philadelphia Eagles' No. 1 quarterback, there is no learning curve.
In fact, the star quarterback wants everyone to know that between him and the young receivers on the roster, there is really no ceiling on the team's potential.
“There will definitely be an opportunity for us to get together and throw,” Hurts said the day Eagles OTAs wrapped up last week. “There is no limit to that. We’re always striving to kind of get on the same page and just play catch. Those are the guys, you know what I mean? So there will definitely be an opportunity."
Somehow, the Eagles offense has the potential to get even better after a year that saw Hurts throw for 3,700 yards.
And between A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, the Eagles had two pass-catchers with 1,000 yards. A first in franchise history. Brown caught 88 passes for 1,496 yards and 11 touchdowns. Smith caught 95 passes for 1,196 yards and 7 touchdowns. Smith set a record for Eagles receivers with 95 catches and Brown set an Eagles record in receiving yards with 1,496.
To add, before last year there were just 24 total 1,000-yard seasons in Eagles history. The last one before 2022 was Zach Ertz in 2018 and the last wide receiver to do it was Jeremy Maclin in 2014.
Now Hurts is saying that the team can do more in 2023.
It helps that the offense will have some continuity. But what also helps is a quarterback believing that there is no ceiling on just how good that team can be moving forward.
