Jalen Hurts is a powerful part of the Philadelphia Eagles’ run game.Īlright, so without further ado, here is the graphic in question the graphic that showcases just how explosive a runner Jalen Hurts was for the Philadelphia Eagles in 2021. Hurts ran for more yards than all but 21 players in the NFL and outperformed every other quarterback, even Lamar Jackson, with 784 yards on the ground.īut what if I were to tell you Hurts’ yards weren’t just superficial efforts to pick up a few yards before running out of bounds or sliding to a whistle? What if Hurts was genuinely booking it with all of his heart in order to leave it all on the field for his Philadelphia Eagles teammates? Well, according to the NFL’s Next Gen Stats, that appears to be the case, as the pride of OklaBama ranked first in the NFL in rushing explosiveness. Sure, some will suggest that the Eagles’ running backs room is only average when compared to their NFC East peers, as the Cowboys and the Washington Commanders probably have a bit more overall talent when you factor in Jalen Hurts, the fast-running power back in a quarterback’s body, the Eagles shoot up to number 1 with a bullet. They recorded the most rushing yards of any team in the NFL, the second-most rushing attempts – say it with me, one fewer than the Tennessee Titans – and, as just about anyone can attest, literally dominated games down the stretch with a strong run game called by Shane Steichen. In case you haven’t heard, the Philadelphia Eagles were a very good rushing team in 2021.
