Nick Sirianni says Jalen Hurts requested to come in on Eagles’ day off for extra work

Jalen Hurts is hardly the primary NFL participant to work actually onerous.

However given every part we’ve noticed in regards to the maniacal dedication to his craft, it’s honest to suppose he is perhaps amongst those that grind the toughest.

You understand how Mockdraftable’s spider graphs present the percentiles for numerous athletic attributes? Similar to this:

Yeah, nicely, Hurts is perhaps 99th percentile within the “onerous work” class.

Living proof: the Eagles quarterback requested to return to the NovaCare Complicated on Monday regardless of Nick Sirianni giving gamers and coaches off following Philadelphia clinching the No. 1 seed within the NFC playoff image.

Sirianni revealed this a lot about Hurts when talking with Angelo Cataldi on the WIP Morning Present.

CATALDI: How do you suppose he [performed]?

SIRIANNI: I believed he performed a strong sport. And what I used to be proud of … I do know this can be a loopy factor to be blissful about, however, I used to be blissful he was in a position to make some errors in that sport yesterday. And all of us make errors within the sport, beginning with myself. However I used to be blissful that he was in a position to make some errors within the sport to type of, I wanna say, knock the rust off a bit bit. As a result of he had been out for the previous two weeks, as everyone knows.

So, I used to be blissful that he— we don’t wish to make the errors. However I’d moderately him make them then, yesterday, as an alternative of within the playoffs. Regardless that yesterday we have been taking part in for every part. They usually have been minor errors, they have been simply issues we have to knock the rust off of.

However moreover that I believed he performed a superb sport.

Now, I’ll be trustworthy with you, I haven’t even watched the tape but. We don’t get very many alternatives on this league to not work the subsequent day. And that’s why I’m providing you with two extra questions, as a result of I don’t have a gathering to hurry to. And I didn’t must have the movie graded.

I’m truly getting in [to the facility] with Jalen. I do know the coaches are off however Jalen stated, ‘Hey, let’s watch the tape tomorrow.’ I stated ‘You bought it.’ He needed to work and transfer on. So, at 12 o’clock, me, him, [offensive coordinator] Shane [Steichen], and [quarterbacks coach] Brian Johnson are going to look at the tape collectively in there. So, a few us are working, however everybody else must have that point off.

Hurts was not his sharpest in his first sport again after struggling a shoulder sprain. Throughout his postgame press convention, he assessed his efficiency as “adequate.” And it was an correct descriptor when it comes to having the ability to lead the Eagles to victory over a Giants workforce that performed lots of backups.

However one could be remiss to suppose Hurts was really glad. Talking within the locker room after the sport, he talked about how there’s room for enchancment (warning: NSFW language).

Hurts is preaching the precise message forward of the postseason. The success the Eagles have skilled to this point shouldn’t be taken without any consideration. However there’s nonetheless lots of onerous work to be executed to succeed in the final word purpose.
