Despite a rollercoaster season that sparked more than a few debates around the Eagles' offensive identity, Jalen Hurts is heading to the Pro Bowl - and that says a lot about the kind of year he put together.
Hurts has officially been added to the NFC roster, stepping in for Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford. Initially, the NFC quarterback trio featured Dak Prescott, Sam Darnold, and Stafford, but with Darnold now prepping for the Super Bowl with the Seahawks, Jared Goff took his spot. That opened the door for Hurts, who now gets a well-earned nod for his 2025 campaign.
Let’s take a closer look at what got him there. Hurts completed 294 of 454 pass attempts for 3,224 yards, tossing 25 touchdowns against just six interceptions across 16 regular-season starts.
That’s solid production by any measure - especially when you factor in his impact on the ground. He added 421 rushing yards and punched in eight more scores with his legs, continuing to be one of the league’s most dangerous dual-threat quarterbacks.
Yes, the Eagles offense had its struggles. The rhythm felt off at times, and the unit didn’t always look like the explosive group fans expected.
But Hurts was often the steadying force, keeping the team competitive and showing resilience in the face of inconsistency around him. Whether it was battling through protection breakdowns or adjusting to shifting play-calling philosophies, he rarely flinched.
Now, Hurts will represent the NFC in the Pro Bowl - a well-deserved recognition for a quarterback who, even in a turbulent season, found ways to lead and produce. But once the Pro Bowl festivities wrap up, the focus shifts quickly to what’s next.
That next chapter? It’s a big one.
Hurts will soon begin working with new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion - the Eagles’ fifth OC in five seasons. That kind of turnover is no small thing for a quarterback trying to build continuity and chemistry in a system.
But Hurts has shown he can adapt. He’s played under different schemes, different voices in his headset, and still found ways to be productive.
The hope in Philadelphia is that Mannion can bring some much-needed stability and help unlock even more from Hurts’ game. If that pairing clicks, the Eagles could be in for a bounce-back year offensively. For now, though, Hurts gets a moment to enjoy the recognition - and maybe remind everyone just how high his ceiling still is.
