What Happened to the 4 QBs Drafted Before Jalen Hurts?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 июл 2023
- Jalen Hurts, a standout quarterback, faced setbacks early in his career despite impressive performances at the University of Alabama. 4 QBs were drafted ahead of him. He was benched during a crucial game, which led him to transfer to Oklahoma and prove himself. In the 2020 NFL Draft, four quarterbacks were chosen ahead of him. Joe Burrow, Tua Tagovailoa, Justin Herbert, and Jordan Love were all selected before Hurts. However, since then, Hurts has shown exceptional talent, leading his team to the Super Bowl in just his third year. Many teams passed on him, opting for other positions, but the Philadelphia Eagles eventually selected him, and he has proven to be a game-changer, now regarded as one of the best quarterbacks in the league. His rise to stardom was unexpected, but he has demonstrated his abilities and surpassed all expectations.

Why does NOBODY talk about how the following year when tua got injured in the championship hurts stepped in and won them the game, THEN transferred to Oklahoma
Wouldn’t fit their narrative…
Why is this an issue? I’m not a huge college football fan so you can explain in detail. To me he, needed to prove himself as a quality future NFL QB and he couldn’t do that sitting on the bench at Alabama. The transfer makes sense in that perspective.
@@MrTee12 Unparalleled character and fought thru adversity.
And he’s got the Kobe syndrome. Since Hurts Freshman year he’s just gotten better and better and better and better and better.. and that makes me a fan
- cowboys fan from Houston
@@jeffsamuels2539 Much respect being that we are rivals. Good to see that you see how valuable this guy is. He’s an all round special guy.
One of the dopest moves I've seen in sports
I'd like to mention that Hurts graduated from Alabama in his third year and then enrolled at Oklahoma for post-graduate work. Somehow to me that's different than simply transferring to another college to play football because you're no longer the starter. I am happy for Hurts because of the way he handled the situation at Alabama; he didn't whine or complain or threaten. Lots of people doubted whether he could really be a passing threat in the NFL, but he has proven them wrong. Well, for the most part.
Hurts has also kept studying while in the NFL and completed his M.A. in human relations in May 2023.
😂😂 I get you like hurts bama and most of all the eagles but your just going out of your way to make an excuse to like him more you don’t have to add anything and take anything away to make him better
@@Messup7654You seem a little jealous. I bet nobody in your life raves over you like this 😂
@@UniqueHandles it’s true gosh you eagles fans are pathetic chiefs are becoming more and more likable. Yes people rave over me and they will even more because I’m a gifted athlete but keep posting your car pictures because I’ll be able to buy your whole life just from being a good football player cry eagles fan 💚💙
@@Messup7654How is it an excuse to say he stayed at Alabama after being benched and graduated an excuse? it actually happened.
It’s so wild to me how Burrow, Herbert, Tua, and Hurts have all greatly established themselves in the league to this point and we’re just now going to see what Love can do despite them all being from the same class.
I think Love has the potential to be a great qb because Packers history of quarterbacks is so good
@@Otto1360I mean 2 great QBs. Just guys who have played for the same team for such a long time. A lot of teams have better QBs.
@@chad2522name a team other than the 49ers who have had 2 consecutive quarterbacks better than Favre and Rodgers
@@JolteOnWisconsinExactly my point. Every team has better QBs. Cowboys staubach and aikman. Steelers Bradshaw and Roethlisberger. Just they don’t play consecutively. Only the 49ers and packers have had two consecutive good QBS. You could also argue Bledsoe and Brady to be in that group.
They weren’t behind Arod in Green Bay either
As soon as I saw him dominate an 8-1 New Orleans team in his first full game during a season where we were 2-6-1 at the time, I knew we had a franchise QB. Then we got him his man AJ, Hurts worked hard at his deep ball and accuracy, and BAM. Fly Eagles Fly.
Same. After watching his rookie year his breakout was not unexpected by me. Put some weapons behind him and I had full confidence last year (with receipts of all the over stats I took on hurts and eagles wins going into last year). His trajectory was really exactly what I expected. 2021 I was fully sold he led us to the playoffs with really only a rookie WR as his top option.
If he was a top 5 draft pick we woulda never been looking at Watson and Wilson. Kinda proves for how good roseman is it’s still really hard to identify ascending QB talent. He knew we had a SB roster and while I was on board with Hurts, I could see the argument to go with Wilson, but that’s only if Wilson and Hurts were swapped out evenly, which clearly wasn’t the case. What nightmare that would have been. Imagine Hurts on the Seahawks plus not having Nolan smith (maybe Jalen Carter too) and our next two first round picks. We’d still be in OK shape which is crazy because I think Wilson doesn’t flame out here and as long as we hit on our next QB we’d still be contending in the nfc the next few years.
i knew hurts was going to be good he's a grinder and always wants to learn thats why he trained with tom bradys throwing coach Tom House
3-8-1
Don't forget the help of Smith before brown truly helped him grow
Exactly!!!❤❤
I hate that he said Tua is Jalen's biggest rival, they're friends, Jalen was never upset that Tua got the starting job. I hate the narrative that Jalen left because he hated us, he left to better his career, he loves Alabama and his former Bama teammates
Rivals don’t hate each other. They are friends who strive to make each other better. Week 8 finna be a movie
@@gabrielvelez4859 Iron sharpens iron
He also didn’t leave bama because he wasn’t the starter anymore. He left cause he graduated in 3 years and went to Oregon for post grad
Yeah I mean, it's the coaches decision who starts. You shouldn't hate the guy competing against you for that. You just have to out compete the guy you're going against. Good teammates don't drag each other down and Hurts from what I seen is a good teammate.
I've heard him talk about his Bama days but have never heard him even mention Okla.
If Tua stays healthy and Love is just good enough. That 2020 QB Class will be one of the best all time.
Love will be good
Huge if for Tua… don’t see him staying healthy. He hasn’t done that in college or the pros
@@adamf7089High school as well back when he was built like a truck
Tua is a freaking joke, Hill makes him look good.... his passes are so far under thrown it's silly
@@marks5759 Cap
One of the best QB draft classes ever
It’s rare to have so many QB’s delivering in the NFL from 1 draft. Beautiful!
Hurts was always working to get better. You saw when he went to Oklahoma he improved in every way. And his work ethic is second to none. I always said I didn't know what his ceiling was, but he was going to get to it. He just keeps working and learning. Everyone seems to love him as a teammate too. He wouldn't be successful on every team those first couple seasons. He's in the perfect place. Tua seems like a good dude too, I really hope he's okay after those severe concussions.
I love the story of JH because is such a humble person and still so eager and willing to learn.
Hurts also has a special ability few QB's have and thats LEADERSHIP!
Our city loves this guy! FlyEaglesFly
Thank you to all the 31 teams that passed on him!! I know i highly questioned it when the pick was made but truly im grateful he's on our squad. Go Birds!!
When he was drafted, I thought it was a solid value pick. A number 2 QB is rated 7th most valuable player on the Eagles (if I recall that stat correctly, it's something like that), and Nick Foles provedit. He was a good value pick in the second round, and that was before he grew into what he is now. Now he's a GREAT value pick.
It's the best move Howie, or whomevers choice it was to draft Hurts, because it brought out Wentz true colors.
If we didn't draft Hurts, we'd be living in mediocre hell still hoping this is the year Wentz figures it all out.
Thank God for Jalen Hurts
Hurts is literally the embodiment of what you need to be to successful as a philly athlete.
Hurts is the embodiment of what to do to be successful at life in geberal.
@crooster1 both statements are very true, my friend. It's hard playing in Philly as an athlete. Hurts has dealt with it in stride. It's hard playing in major league sports in general. Hurts has dealt with it in stride. The kid, well man, is definitely on the right
track and can only go up from here.
It's because Philly demands a lot from their athletes because they love their teams. Once you prove yourself these fans will worship you like a god. Just look at how Nick Foles is seen in comparison to McNabb. McNabb is definitely the more tenured player, with much higher talent but he just couldn't get us over the hump and so while he is indeed a great QB for the Eagles he doesn't have those few moments of greatness that Foles achieved. Even Cunningham who never won a Superbowl is more highly regardless in Philadelphia mythos than McNabb despite McNabb having more success in his time playing for the Eagles.

@@crooster1💯
When we drafted Hurts I was pleasantly shocked. I liked him in college and had no idea we were even looking at him, so glad we got him! First Eagles Jersey I got since Shady McCoy
I was one of the few Eagles fans that was HYPED when we drafted him. I remember loving how he handled being benched in National title game. You gotta be mentally tough to play in Philly. I knew this kid had it. Plus we had won a Super Bowl with a backup quarterback on 2-3 years prior, so it was a highly valued position.
This class may go down is one of the most legendary qb classes of all time…..😱
I am not sold on Hurts. Let me see him do it again this year.
fr people are acting like he is already a top 5 qb just bc he did good on argubaly the best team in the league position wise if patrick mahomes or probally joe burrow had that team they would go 17-0
You probably never will be
Jalen Hurts was the most resilient QB going into the draft. He went through adversity being bench while at Alabama, went to OK had a good senior year.
Only down year Hurts had in college was 2017 when Brian Daboll was his OC/qb coach. Hurts returned the favor in 2022/2023, lighting his Giants up in a three game sweep. Tua had bigger numbers and came into a championship game having no tape on him and being a different type of qb than Hurts. Also, played with nothing to lose. Since then he lost every big game he was in and lost the 2018/2019 champ game by 30+ points. Bama was losing in the 2018 sec championship game before Hurts came in and won it. Outside of Burrow, the other three were statistical wonders
So it was dabols fault right
@@jameshollister8294yes
All 5 of these Quarterbacks have been great so far for their teams, but all the other players drafted before Hurts is wild.
Th …That’s 😢my QB1 😢! Go Birds 🎉!
Let's not forget that an injury prone Wentz got concussed, and the Eagles had to roll out Josh McCown, who also got injured, in a wild card loss a few months prior to the 2020 draft. With that in mind the rationale for drafting Hurts made a lot of sense to me at the time.
All of these QB's are great players. Might be one of the best QB draft classes in years.
The problem with analysis like this, they don't explain. That hurts landed in the perfect location. And that coaching matters. Hurts is a baller, but if you were to end it up on the raiders it was going to ruin his career.
dude play in clown ass NFC like pac12 divison level smhhh anyone can win that joke league with dak and daniel jones LOZZZ afc is different breed
This is not a fact. It's just conjecture in your head. You didn't even "explain" why Philly was the "perfect" location. You didn't explain why "coaching matters". You're just throwing shit against the wall to see what sticks.
@@jacobstrouble6631but in his statement he never said he'd be explaining. He's saying that's what is missing in this video. Usually when one makes a video like this it's to say he was better than the Qbs that were drafted before him. In this case not so much
@@shaolinshefgaming400 No - this guy is saying Jalen is successful because of extenuating circumstances whereas the other qbs were drafted based on their talent. If he feels so strongly about the video maker explaining why Jalen has been successful then he should also explain why Justin Herbert hasn't won.
@jacobstrouble6631 if I need to explain why coaching matters.. I don't know what to tell you. While I love his mentality and the dawg in him... I don't think he'd be the same as if he landed on the chargers.... Raiders... Commanders... Jets... Panthers... Texans... the list of disfunctional organizations that would have made him worse is long.
With the chargers... He'd be on his third OC, second head coach. Steichen would have made him look better his rookie year because he was there his rookie year... but Lombardi would be an awful OC for Hurts style.
I didn't say he couldn't end up in multiple places and do pretty good... as an example he might have ended up on san Fran and he'd be good... but I don't think he could do what Burrow has done for the Bengals...
They mentioned Carr and him going to the Raiders... and I just think that it seems obvious that would have been bad for his career...
Overall, where you go matters for 95% of QBs... very few QBs are the pillars you can build around even with bad coaching.... Hurts needed a system tailored to him and what he does. I don't think I feel the same about say a Mahomes... he is definitely better because Reid but as an example he is mobile and a great pocket passer... Hurts needs the perfect system for him as most guys do... and steichen was a great mind for him.
Hurst’s return in the SEC Championship was a lesson in the ‘RIGHT STUFF’. On the bench all year and continuing to be a team player, he came in for an injured Tua and lead his team to victory. I am not an Eagles fan, but got the best character guy in college football, and now, a skilled leader. He is the quintessential complete package.
That was amazing! Hurts is so humble and keeps improving when others aren’t watching.
This could potentially be the best QB draft class since 04
It's better. Regardless of titles.
I think I might be better 😱we shall see
I can't stand when people say he only had one good year when he took over for a team that only had four wins the year before and made the playoffs in his first year as starter
Still doesn’t change the fact he’s only had one good year. 4400 total yards and 35 total tds and 5 pics isn’t really mvp level numbers
Great video! Nicely done! GO 🦅🦅🦅
As an Eagles fan of course I loved the video. Great job! I just subbed and I really expect this channel to grow. FlyEaglesFly!!! 🦅🦅🦅
Man, that was a crazy good year for QBs in the draft!
Not a Franchise QB? He’s much more than that. He’s a Potential yearly MVP, yearly Super Bowl Champion, leader and PRO in every scene of the word!! Good job scouting this man!! We’ll take him. 😊 Go 🦅
you're saying that as if it was said this morning and not literally 6 years ago BEFORE the pandemic. something can be true at the time and a player can excel so far it just makes the first take look silly in retrospect. people really forget MJ was in the league the better part of a decade before he saw a championship. for the first 7 years of his career he was a great player but nowhere near a GOAT debate. now we know how much that has changed over time.
As an panthers fan I hate how you brought back the fact that we could have had hurts instead of YGM especially since I am an Oklahoma fan and really wanted us to select hurts, I feel like I buried that memory in my subconscious
This is a certified philadelphia classic.
What a stacked QB draft class
I still don't understand how you only have 8k subs with such a high quality video that I just watched. I guess you need a little exposer 🤷♂️
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoy the videos
Jalen Hurts is a like a younger better russ.
Super stoked for what he will do for our franchise.
Young Cam Newton 🦅🔥🐐
Hurts has absolutely catapulted himself into the top 6 QB debate but Russ is a bad comparison right now. Hurts is nowhere near the playmaker outside the pocket that Russ was even as a sophomore in Seattle
@@jarhead1031 but hes way better inside the pocket
@@Shrek_Smith Hurts is way more Russ than Cam.
Exceptional QB and an exceptional person.
Hurts had one good year and now everyone is anointing him. I’m not convinced.
I like how 3 of them have played better than hurts in stretches and then one is jourdan love
Watching jalen hurts gives me nostalgic moments, he reminds me of a young 2010s russell wilson, mobile, one of the best deep ball passers in the league, his future is bright
Hurts is at a team that plays to his strengths and doesn't try to make him do things he's not good at. Add a good defence in the mix and you have a recipe to hopefuly be successful
love this love someone they considered an underdog succeed.
I remember watching this young man at Alabama and I thought he would never translate to the NFL but then I saw his resolve after he was benched. He took over vs GA after Tua went down. I have believed in his work ethic ever since. The guy is incredible and rewind I didn’t know he was a true freshman LEADING ALABAMA! I had the nerve to think his game wouldn’t transfer. Smh. People just don’t know what greatness looks like.
He is a tough minded player. Few egos could have handled all of his ups and downs. Hurts has been a great team player all along. Good to see him find success. Philly was a perfect fit for him. He is a good man, defensive schemes still don’t plan for running QB’s.
lol so much j’s 😂 jalen, joe, justin, and jordan!
I love video like this
Now looking back this QB draft was actually elite and Love turned out to be awesome
Hurts is a playmaker and a winner. Pretty wild that the '17 and '18 drafts produced the same amount of QB as 2020, and a lot of busts. Mahomes, Allen, Watson and Lamar..... but also Mayfield, Darnold, Rosen and Trubisky.
How can you call Baker a bust 😂 that's insane. Won games in the playoffs, carried the Browns to their best season in years. Carrying the Bucs to a great start. Guys the absolute opposite of a bust.
That qb class was stacked. But getting hurts at 53rd pick is as a much a steal as you can get
Great QB and. Winner
Good video
A lowkey underrated qb class tbh
we love us sum Jalen! flyeaglesfly 🦅
Honestly, I knew from the start that he was a good pick even with howie roseman chosing well. He is a great qb with high potential. I just never thought he would commit so much to our eagles. Im glad hes my qb and he just keeps getting better and we'll see this season if he can repeat it all back.
god this draft class was stacked
He is where He worked to be. And, He will be where He deserves to be.
Keeping the MAIN THIGH THE MAIN THING
So, nobody was a bust (with Jordan Love being an unknown). What a crazy draft class!
Jalen is a dawg. Gotta give AJ, Smitty and Goedert their respect as well!
One thing people seem to forget is that Hurts is a natural leader. So teams/ players gravitate towards him. You can’t teach that.
That Qb class will go down as one of the best in history.It’s loaded with QBs.
Jalen !!!
It was amazing listening to all of those so called experts breaking down his game after he was drafted.
Hurts is what Ben Simmons could have been if he had the work ethic and wanted to work on his weakness. Talent isn’t what separates players it’s the the mental strength and innate drive
Even before he was a starter I knew that Hurts had the "It Factor". It wasn't long before you could see that the players gravitated to Hurts rather rather than Carson Wentz. I knew that he would be great. Thanks for an excellent video!
right? I just loved how athletic and dominant of a runner he was. You knew the throwing could probably improve, which it did, as well as the pocket presence, and now he’s a top 5 QB.
Yup, we all saw the team gravitate towards his leadership. Even if he was still raw. We can’t argue with how the team saw him as a leader.
Pretty good group of qbs
Only time will tell
This may go down as one of if not the greatest draft class of all time
Jalen Hurts my feelings 😢
Solid class…sometimes you have to be lucky & hope you chose the right guy along w/how a team develops them. But @ the end of the day it’s up to the player to improve & help their team win!
As a Bama fan, I loved hurts but his sophomore season was painful to go through. He played well against weaker defenses but struggled against stronger opponents. Tua played awesome but was way more of a risk taker than Jalen was. In the 2019 NCG, Tua got played by Clemson constantly. 2019 Tua was hurt several times and still gave LSU a run for their money.
Imagine liking bama
I knew Hurts was good and never understood why they always hated him
I hope the Dolphins and Eagles are the Superbowl. Lets see who wins. Jalen Hurts or Tua
I didn’t even remember that Jordan Love went ahead of Hurts. That’s pretty wild.
The irony is Jalen Hurts was projected as a 3rd round prospect. And he looks a lot better without the dreads
If Love can be good this can be one of the greatest qb classes ever
No doubt
bro the Raiders drafted two players who got arrested in the same draft class 💀
Crazy how scouts saw Jalen Hurts as what lamar jackson is, a running back playing QB, and look at them now, Jalen already played in a SuperBowl and jackson hasn't gone any further than the divisional round
I'll never forgive the Eagles for drafting Jalen Raegor over Justin Jefferson in the same draft
This might go down as the greatest quarterback class of all time.
That qb class was loaded
Hurts SZN
I just learned a lot
That’s what RUclips is for 💪
He graduated from Alabama and used his last year of eligibility at OU. Tua is not Jalen's rival, but a friend.
You do realize they are very similar qbs except one has had the best oline in the league and the number 2 defense
Yeah bro evaluate the drafting based on what's happened afterwards this is genius
Hes top 5 in the league, and 2 of those guys were in the same draft above him. What a fucking draft class!
It looked like Wentz was gonna be that long-term franchise guy at one point. I'm not sold on Hurts he's had one good season, and if he ever loses his mobility I don't think his arm will make up the difference. He got his bag. Let's see if he ends up being worth it or if the contract turns into an anchor.
That's a great point. Wentz at one point looked to be a future great. Hurts has the complete game but with that he will take a beating. Hits will take a toll on a player.
He is young, smart and seems to be constantly improving. He'll be fine if he can stay healthy. Unfortunately the odds are against him for his style of play.
eagles went to the playoffs the year before i think a lot of yall are forgetting that.
Wow great draft for QBs
8-1 baby!
damn good draft for QBs
If Tua and love are healthy/good this might be the best qb class since 2004
Easily!
Bro had one good year and now he’s all the sudden the best qb in the NFL??? Last year even eagles fans wanted to get rid of him and I wanted him on our team, but now after one decent year he’s the “MVP” bro has nearly the same stats as Tyrod Taylor. Let that sink in
But does he win??? Plus had he not missed 2 games he would’ve thrown for 4k
Exactly, let’s see how he continues to do moving forward
@@eaglesman19 he had one good season bruh, slow your roll. Let’s see actual consistency before we start calling anyone a top 5 player
@@fatllama69 lmao ok sure, but everyone wanted to call Herbert and Allen top 5 players after one good year, hell they’re already tryna make Lawrence a top 10-5 player after having half a good season!! You talk about him having low stats but I ask you again does he win???
@@eaglesman19 if you have a team that stacked and your qb better win
WOAH WOAH WOAH!! How’d you skip him winning the National Championship in relief of the injured Tua?!! What’s going on here?!!!
That was a great QB Draft Class tbh…we gon see wussup w/ J. Love this year tho
He's like a stronger and healthier version of our GOAT QB Donovan McNabb. He's just perfect!
This quarterback class is insane .
What people don't talk about is all the other quarterbacks besides jordan love (whos team isnt the greateast now) were drafted into pretty bad situations while jalen hurts was drafted into one of the most insane and stacked lineups on a single team in NFL history and the fact that they keep making more and more moves to build an even better team around hurts.
True but he also was drafted with the intent to be a backup and had to overcome that and beat out the franchise Qb the eagles invested a ton in. Pays off now because he’s got a great situation but Hurts deserves credit for where the eagles are now.
As NY Giants fan....I truly respect Jalen Hurts.
W Giants fan
This will def be one of the best QBs class I could see all of them making a Super Bowl 2/5 already have
Def get 12 😂 go Pack go
I'll give them a couple more years before saying their the best. The 1984 draft qb class still holds that title.
Something to be said about a man who consistently pushes himself to get better
