Troy Aikman shares high praise for Jalen Hurts Aikman thinks that Hurts will be asked to step outside of his usual comfort zone in Philadelphia's offensive attack under Manion, and he thinks that Hurts will be more than willing – and able – to do so. "I think with where they're going this year, it will look different and I think that there will be more asked of Jalen Hurts to work the middle of the field, to maybe line up under center a little bit more in the play action game, and that's an offense that I'm a big believer in," Aikman said.

"And I believe Jalen can do anything he's asked to do. ... He's a quarterback who puts in the time to do everything he can to be his best.

And so whatever he's been challenged with this offseason, I fully expect him to come out and play the kind of football that we're accustomed to seeing him play. " "I believe Jalen [Hurts] can do anything that he's asked to do. " @TroyAikman looks ahead to Jalen Hurts' upcoming first season under Sean Mannion ⬇️ pic.
