Yahoo Sports NFL on Jalen Hurts

Hurts is the NFL's best clutch performer right now, willing Eagles to victory.

Hurts is establishing himself as an elite clutch performer in the NFL; the source states 'right now, fresh into a new season, there may not be a better clutch performer currently in the NFL than Hurts.' He completed 26 of 37 for 264 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions against Tennessee, but his defining trait is his ability to will games to victory—he converted two third-and-six plays on the game-winning drive and hit Darius Cooper for the game-winning touchdown with nine seconds remaining. Hurts embraces doubt and negative external noise, channeling it into performance; he idolizes Michael Jordan and is 'turning into—the football Jordan, grabbing the game by the scruff of the neck and putting it on him to win.'
