Tuesday marks the day of doom for many a young NFL prospect. Each team must cut its roster down to 53 players. That will be no easy feat for any team, especially the Philadelphia Eagles, who have a lot of solid young talent. I did one of these predictions a few weeks ago, but so…
Jalen Alexander Hurts was born on August 7, 1998, in Channelview, Texas, attending the aptly named Channelview High School. Ever since Jalen was a kid, it was obvious how gifted he was as an athlete. He played football at Channelview High, where his father, Averion Hurts, coached. Hurts would prove himself a star on the gridiron, passing for over 2,000 yards and rushing for over 1,000, with 51 total touchdowns as a senior en route to being named the District 21-6A MVP and ranking as one of the top dual-threat QBs in his recruiting class.

Trade! NFL Network's Ian Rapoport broke the news on Saturday morning that the Philadelphia Eagles have acquired quarterback Gardner Minshew from the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for a conditional sixth-round draft pick. The sixth-round pick becomes a fifth-rounder if Minshew plays 50% of the team's snap in three games in 2021. The team also released…
A tie! Preseason doesn't matter, of course, but the Eagles ended up with a tie instead of cruising to a victory. This was not an overly encouraging preseason for Eagles fans, though it is worth noting that most of the starters didn't play very much in any of the games. These were mostly reserves and…
