Playing Style

Hurts' documented profile combines dual-threat running production, toughness and continued growth as a passer.

The NFL's 2020 draft analysis described Hurts as a winning dual-threat quarterback known for strength, toughness and character, while noting improvement in his deep-ball touch and intermediate accuracy at Oklahoma.

His professional production has retained that running dimension: the Eagles listed 55 career rushing touchdowns, third-most by an NFL quarterback, and 10 or more rushing touchdowns in four consecutive seasons, an NFL quarterback record.

Legacy

Hurts remains active, but his college transition and early Eagles career have already produced significant championship and quarterback-rushing milestones.

His college career included Alabama's championship run and an Oklahoma season in which he became the Heisman runner-up while setting Sooners single-season quarterback records for rushing yards and points scored.

With Philadelphia, Hurts has won a Super Bowl and its MVP award, reached two conference championships, and built one of the most productive rushing touchdown totals by a quarterback. This is an active-career assessment, not a final career judgment.
