Jalen Hurts ready to turn Eagles' dream offense into a reality

Jalen Hurts didn't throw his first interception this summer until the final day of training camp. He went through 15 practices, hundreds of throws, and few of his passes even hit the ground.

He looked crisp, sharp and in command according to those who watched him. He looked confident and comfortable — two things he definitely didn't seem to be late last year.

"I just feel like he's had an outstanding, outstanding camp," Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said last week. "I'm really excited about where he is, just in complete control of the offense, delivering accurate balls, protecting the football. What an unbelievable camp he's had."

Maybe that shouldn't have been surprising to anyone. Hurts is motivated after last year's collapse. He's healthy after last year's injuries.

And he's never been surrounded by an offensive team as talented as this.

As good and as potent as the Eagles have been the past few years, they've just never had as many potent weapons as they do right now. The addition of free agent running back Saquon Barkley had already turned them into a "Dream Team" of sorts. Then they went out and acquired Jahan Dotson from the Washington Commanders last week, giving them the third receiver they've been seeking for years.

Add in an offensive line that they don't think will miss a beat after the retirement of center Jason Kelce (who'll be replaced by guard Cam Jurgens, a former second-round pick), the Eagles have felt a special vibe on offense throughout the offseason. Barkley felt it the first time he stepped into the team huddle. And Dotson was still marveling last Saturday, after his first-practice "goosebumps" wore off.

"We have a lot of people who can make a lot of plays. It's going to be fun,"
