Jalen Hurts Responds to MLFootball’s NFC East QB Rankings

Philadelphia, PA – March 27, 2025, 10:00 AM PDT
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has responded to MLFootball’s controversial NFC East quarterback rankings, which placed him third behind Washington Commanders’ Jayden Daniels and Dallas Cowboys’ Dak Prescott. The Super Bowl LIX MVP, speaking at a press conference on Thursday, shrugged off the ranking with a mix of humor and confidence, emphasizing his focus on team success over individual accolades.

Hurts, who led the Eagles to an 18-win season and a 40-22 Super Bowl victory over the Kansas City Chiefs in 2024, threw for 4,132 yards and 38 total touchdowns last year. Despite his stellar performance, MLFootball ranked him below Daniels, a second-year QB, and Prescott, who struggled with 10 interceptions in 13 games. “Maybe the person who made this list is a longtime Chiefs fan still bitter about us beating them,” Hurts quipped, drawing laughs. “Or maybe it’s a new editor—or someone who doesn’t know much about the NFL. I don’t really care.”

The 26-year-old quarterback, known for his team-first mentality, added, “They can rank me 32nd among QBs for all I care—as long as the Eagles win the Super Bowl, I’m good. Football is a team sport. If they rank me low and we still win, it just shows how much better my teammates are than everyone else’s. I’m happy about that.” Hurts’ comments reflect his leadership, as he credited stars like Saquon Barkley, A.J. Brown, and the Eagles’ defense for their championship run
