Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson explained the rationale behind taking Oklahoma quarterback Jalen Hurts 53rd overall in the second round of the 2020 NFL draft on Friday.
According to NFL.com's Grant Gordon, Pederson said: "He has a unique set of skills that we're going to take a look at as we keep developing this offseason and this advancement, so to speak, as we get ready for training camp."
The selection of Hurts in the second round raised some eyebrows since Eagles starting quarterback Carson Wentz is set to make over $39 million this season and is under contract through 2024.
