PHILADELPHIA — Jalen Hurts is no stranger when it comes to entering as NFL season with a different play-caller. While it’s not a situation Hurts has enjoyed, he’s certainly embraced the adversity.
Hurts had another one-and-done offensive coordinator in Kellen Moore last season, as Moore left Philadelphia to become the head coach of the New Orleans Saints after calling plays for the Philadelphia Eagles in 2024.
To replace Moore, the Eagles promoted from within, hiring Kevin Patullo to be the offensive coordinator and play-caller. An assistant head coach and the passing game coordinator in his five seasons with the Eagles, Patullo will be the sixth play-caller for Hurts in six NFL seasons.
This offensive change is nothing new for Hurts, who has certainly had his fair share of different play-callers since high school. The Eagles quarterback has now had 12 play-callers in his 10 seasons at the college and professional level, an astonishing amount for any quarterback.
Essentially, Hurts is a victim of his own success.
