PHILADELPHIA -- Quincy Avery first watched Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts throw when he was a junior at Channelview High School just outside of Houston.
Hurts was taking part in an Elite 11 regional event -- a program designed to sharpen the skills of top high school quarterbacks. Avery, a quarterback trainer whose current client list includes Hurts, the Cleveland Browns' Deshaun Watson, the Seattle Seahawks' Geno Smith, the San Francisco 49ers' Trey Lance and Ohio State's C.J. Stroud, was part of Elite 11's staff.
"I saw somebody who was really talented but a bit raw," Avery said.
