Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is widely recognized for his ability to secure wins, a quality that has become synonymous with his name. Following an 11-6 season and a recent Pro Bowl appearance, Hurts finished the campaign with a 64.8% pass completion rate, 3,224 yards, and a career-high 25 touchdowns against just six interceptions in 16 games. During an NFL Network interview, Eagles free agent linebacker Nakobe Dean used one word to capture Hurts’ impact on the field.
“Nobody has any more winnability — I don’t even know if that’s a word — but nobody’s got more winnability than Jalen Hurts.” ?Nakobe Dean, Eagles free agent linebacker
How “Winnability” Defines Hurts’ NFL Career
Since being drafted in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft, Hurts has maintained one of the highest winning percentages among NFL starters. He holds a 57-25 record, winning nearly 70% of his starts, along with a 6-4 postseason record that includes two Super Bowl appearances and one championship. At 27 years old, Hurts has earned three Pro Bowl selections, a second-team All-Pro nod, and was the runner-up in the 2022 MVP voting. He also claimed the Super Bowl MVP award in 2024.
Despite ongoing debates about his limitations among fans and analysts, the one aspect of Hurts’ game that has never been questioned is his capacity to win crucial football games consistently during his six-year NFL tenure.
Looking Ahead: Offseason Uncertainty and Potential Impact
With the Eagles entering an extended offseason after the challenges of the 2025 season, the responsibility doesn’t rest solely on Hurts’ shoulders, as he continued to deliver strong performances. The arrival of new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion could help unlock further potential in Hurts’ play, potentially elevating him to an elite status that opponents have yet to fully anticipate. As the Eagles prepare for the next campaign, Hurts’ proven winnability remains critical to their aspirations.
