Jalen Hurts will start the season for the Eagles, and he has the potential to be the No. 1 fantasy quarterback in all leagues this year. However, he also suffered a significant injury during his first game as a Eagle last season. He was knocked out of the opener against Tennessee and did not return.
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Hurts has a broken bone in his left index finger that will require surgery after the season. This means he won't be able to protect himself with the football or throw it until at least the summer.
With such an important part of the offense gone for months if not years, it's easy to see why many people are worried about how successful the Eagles will be this year. First-year head coach Justin Wilcox will have to come up with a way to move the ball without their star player. And considering how bad things got for the Eagles late last season, it's possible they could even lose more games than we think.
Jalen Hurts, the Eagles' second-round choice in the 2020 NFL Draft, was signed to a four-year rookie deal for $6,025,171. According to Spotrac, he earned a $1,941,944 signing bonus and a $2,825,815 guarantee when signing. His salary cap number for 2019 was $2,845,017.
He will receive a base salary of $742,468 in 2020, with a potential maximum of $3 million if he makes all of the required appearances for the team over the course of the four years. If he is on the field for less than 10 games in any year, his salary would be reduced by 50 percent of his salary cap number for that season. If he is on the field for 10 or more games but does not make it through the entire season, his salary would be reduced by 75 percent of his salary cap number for that season.
His salary increases each year he remains under contract, reaching a high of $14.5 million in 2024. However, if he fails to meet certain requirements, such as being suspended for violation of team rules, he could be released without penalty. In that case, his salary would be fully guaranteed.
Hurts made headlines at the end of August when it was reported that he rejected an offer from the Eagles that would have paid him like a top quarterback.

After graduating from school, Hurts entered the NFL draft where he went straight into the first round to the Lions. In his rookie season, he started all 16 games and completed 62.5 percent of his passes for 3,889 yards and 28 touchdowns against only seven interceptions. He also ran for five scores himself.
As a sophomore at Oklahoma in 2020, Hurts led the Sooners to a 12-1 record and their second consecutive Big 12 title. The only loss he suffered during that season came against Alabama in the Sugar Bowl. Hurts passed for 4,917 yards and 49 touchdowns while rushing for nine more scores himself. He was also named consensus college football's most valuable player at the end of the season.
In January 2021, Sports Illustrated published an article claiming that Hurts' net worth was $15 million. According to the report, he earned $1.5 million in 2019 alone. Additionally, his annual salary at Oklahoma was reported as $5.5 million.

Jalen Hurts became the first Omega Psi Phi Fraternity member to start an NFL game as quarterback since Steve McNair did so with the Tennessee Oilers 23 years ago. However, it may have been a bad decision as he was benched in favor of third-stringer Jacob Karam after throwing four interceptions and completing just 12 of 30 passes for 117 yards in a 34-7 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Hurts, who started nine games last season for the Alabama Crimson Tide, was drafted by the New York Jets at number three overall. He will likely serve as their backup behind Josh McCown this year.
Although his career with the OPPOSIte is over, Hurts isn't wasting any time trying to find another job in football. The former Heisman Trophy winner already has offers from several schools including Michigan, Ohio State, Oklahoma, and USC.
However, he has not signed with anyone yet and we don't know what type of role he will have at these programs. It's also possible that he could end up playing somewhere else if the offer he receives doesn't meet his expectations.
In conclusion, yes, Jalen Hurts is hurting the Omega Psi Phi fraternity.
4.59 milliseconds Jalen Hurts of the Oklahoma Sooners performed an unofficial 40-yard dash in 4.59 seconds at the 2020 combine. This marks the second fastest time ever recorded by a quarterback behind only Michael Vick who ran it in 4.50 seconds.
Vick's mark is now held by several players over the years including Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, and Drew Brees.
Hurts also participated in the 20-yard shuttle test, posting a time of 1.54 seconds. His score placed him first among all quarterbacks at the combine.
He followed this up by performing well at his pro day on March 28th. The results from that session will help determine where he will be drafted.
Hurts has already announced that he will forgo his remaining eligibility and enter the 2020 NFL draft. He will be leaving college after only two seasons spent as Oklahoma's starting quarterback. However, during that time he had 3,944 yards of total offense and 42 touchdowns scored while throwing just 14 interceptions. He also added 756 yards and seven scores on the ground.
In 2019, Hurts led the Sooners to a 12-1 record and their third College Football Playoff appearance.
