Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has solidified his status as one of the NFL's elite players with his recent contract extension. Now, he has soared to new heights by securing the third spot on the highly anticipated NFL's Top 100 Players list.
The unveiling of the top 10 talents, as voted by the players, took place on Monday, marking the culmination of several weeks of suspenseful reveals. Fans were already aware that Hurts would be among the final names on the list, but the exact order remained a mystery.
On his 25th birthday, Hurts received the ultimate birthday gift as he claimed the prestigious third position. This accomplishment is even more remarkable considering the formidable competition he surpassed, including renowned players like Micah Parsons, Josh Allen, Tyreek Hill, Joe Burrow, Travis Kelce, and Nick Bosa.
While Vikings receiver Justin Jefferson and Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes secured the second and first spots, respectively, Hurts has firmly established himself as one of the league's most formidable talents.
What sets Hurts apart is the fact that these rankings are based on votes from fellow players. Being ranked higher than exceptional quarterbacks like Allen and Burrow is a testament to his exceptional skill and the respect he commands among his peers.
Last season, Hurts led the Eagles to an impressive 14-3 record, culminating in a Super Bowl appearance. He showcased his versatility and prowess by amassing 3,701 passing yards, 22 touchdowns, and only six interceptions. Additionally, he contributed significantly on the ground, rushing for 760 yards and scoring 13 touchdowns.
Jalen Hurts has proven time and time again that he is a force to be reckoned with. His remarkable performance on the field and his well-deserved recognition on the NFL's Top 100 Players list only further solidify his status as one of the league's brightest stars.
