Jalen Hurts is a New ‘Threat,’ Lands at No. 1 in PFF Ranking

Jalen Hurts is hot. Following his stellar performance last season, there's a new ranking in the NFC when it comes to the quarterback position.

The new tally from the PFF has Hurts at No.1 on the list for NFC quarterbacks. Hurts finished ahead of big names such as Kyler Murray of the Cardinals, Kirk Cousins of the Vikings and Dak Prescott of the Cowboys. They event call Hurts a "dynamic rushing threat" for the Eagles.

Regarding Hurts, PFF says, "We can debate how much of last season’s success was down to Hurts’ development with another year in the NFL or the improvement in his supporting cast — the A.J. Brown addition and the best offensive line in football (among others) — but he was getting MVP buzz for much of the year, something that seems unlikely for almost any other NFC player."

They add, "Hurts has been a dynamic rushing threat for the Philadelphia Eagles, and his development as a passer has been significant. His PFF passing grade has gone from 57.5 in Year 1 to 69.2 in Year 2 and finally 83.8 in Year 3 on his way to a Super Bowl. If the Eagles maintain a competitive team around him, there’s no reason to think Hurts can’t back up his 2022 performance, and he may not be done improving."
