prior to 2025 Jalen Hurts averaged 9.9 rushing attempts a game...In 2025, he had just 6.6 attempts a game...Sean Mannion as a player and as a coach has never been in an offense with a QB who can threaten the defense on every down and distance with his legs.

Negative signalUsage

Hurts' rushing attempts dropped to 6.6 per game in 2025; new OC Mannion lacks experience with mobile QBs.

Jalen Hurts' rushing attempts declined significantly in 2025 to 6.6 per game, down from his 9.9 average prior to 2025 and his 9.9 average in seven games across two Super Bowl runs. In his three first-round exits, he ran 8, 1, and 5 times respectively. For the Eagles offense to play at its highest level, Hurts will need to use his legs more, but Sean Mannion's offensive background—with Jordan Love (2.6 attempts per game), Kirk Cousins, Geno Smith (3.3 attempts), Russell Wilson (3.1 attempts), and Jared Goff—suggests Mannion may not prioritize QB runs despite Hurts' mobility advantage.
