Eagles May Use Jalen Hurts At Running Back 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Tue Apr 28, 2020 12:59 pm

The Philadelphia Eagles plan to use Jalen Hurts as a rookie and reportedly may even put him at running back.

Since using a second-round pick on Hurts, the Eagles have maintained that they are \"married\" to Carson Wentz at quarterback.

\"I know we\'re talking about Taysom Hill, but Jalen Hurts will be in his own unique role,\" Mike Garafolo reported. \"He will be on the field, though, this upcoming season and, the Eagles hope, for the next four years as a guy who can contribute to the offense other than a quarterback. They\'re hopeful they won\'t need him as a quarterback, because that means Carson Wentz is healthy and on the field. Talking to one Eagles source, they said, \'This guy might be able to contribute as a straight running back, that\'s how good we think he is, that\'s what we think of his skill set.\'\"
