Hurts learning to deal with pressure

Part of Jalen Hurts’ maturation as a quarterback will be learning to deal with pressure, writes Zach Berman:

“The Eagles allowed pressure on 36 percent of Hurts’ dropbacks in Week 16, according to TruMedia, and they lost Jordan Mailata during the game because of a concussion. Pederson said he wanted Hurts to “trust the protection overall, whether it’s a pressure look or not.” Hurts rushed nine times in that game and was sacked three times.

‘There have been a few times the last couple of weeks that he’s gotten out of there a little bit too early and something that he can learn on and build upon and kind of calm himself in the pocket as he continues to play,’ Pederson later said.”
