The Philadelphia Eagles made one of the more surprising picks of the 2020 NFL draft by selecting Jalen Hurts in Round 2, but Ron Jaworski thought it was a smart move by the Eagles.

"You can never have enough talented quarterbacks on the roster," Jaws said of the move, via TMZ Sports.

The former Eagles star believes head coach Doug Pederson will utilize Hurts early in his career.

"The guy has too much talent to have him sit on the bench," Jaworski said of Hurts. "You could create that package for him just like Lamar Jackson had when he first came to Baltimore when Joe Flacco was there.
