Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts stirred up some commotion when he described his new responsibilities on offense in the wake of former Eagles center Jason Kelce's retirement, but Kelce doesn't believe the criticism was necessary.
Kelce said on the latest episode of the New Heights podcast (58:00 mark) that he agreed with Hurts' comments and believes he's taking a necessary step in his career progression.
"There's a lot of media in Philadelphia that are blowing this into a negative assessment, like he's making an excuse or something like that," Kelce said.
