Jalen Hurts, Eagles Officially Agree to Rookie Contract

The Philadelphia Eagles announcedMonday they have reached an agreement with quarterback Jalen Hurts, a second-round pick in the 2020 NFL draft.

Hurts' selection by the Eagles was a mild surprise because the team already has its franchise quarterback in Carson Wentz. The incumbent starter is coming off a strong season with 4,039 passing yards, 27 touchdowns and just seven interceptions across 16 games in 2019.

The former Alabama and Oklahoma standout can provide dual-threat depth at the position, though.

After three seasons with the Crimson Tide, he transferred to the Sooners for his senior season.
