Jalen Hurts has already accomplished more than most quarterbacks ever will. He enters the 2026 season with two Super Bowl appearances, a Super Bowl MVP award, three Pro Bowl selections, one second-team All-Pro honor, and one of the best winning percentages by a quarterback since the 1970 merger.
That does not make him a finished product. It may explain why his offseason approach matters so much.
Hurts has never treated success as a reason to stop working. That mindset was on display again this offseason as he continued training with renowned quarterback trainer Quincy Avery while also organizing work with several Eagles offensive players in Orlando, Florida. Nearly all of Philadelphia's quarterbacks were present, including Hurts, Tanner McKee, Andy Dalton, and Cole Payton, along with a large group of wide receivers and tight ends. DeVonta Smith, Hollywood Brown, Elijah Moore, Dontayvion Wicks, Darius Cooper, Dallas Goedert, Cameron Latu, E.J. Jenkins and Eli Stowers were among those involved, while Makai Lemon continues working through a hamstring injury.
The trip was about more than throwing routes.
It included training, workouts, golf, and bonding, giving Hurts a chance to build timing and chemistry with a new-look supporting cast before training camp. For a quarterback entering another offensive transition, that type of work can matter. Hurts is learning from another play-caller and has dealt with uncommon coordinator turnover throughout his career. NBC Sports Philadelphia reported last month that Hurts is entering 2026 with his sixth offensive coordinator and seventh play-caller in seven NFL seasons.
