Eagles' Goedert: Hurts right behind Mahomes on league QB rankings

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert thinks Jalen Hurts isn't too far behind Patrick Mahomes in everyone's quarterback rankings.

"You could say he has good talent around him, but he's a dog," Goedert said on the "Pardon My Take Podcast" when asked where he'd slot Hurts on the league's quarterback hierarchy.

"I think he should be top three, top two," he said, before adding, "It's hard to take anything away from Patrick."

Hurts took the Eagles to the franchise's second Super Bowl appearance in six seasons but were ultimately outdueled by the Kansas City Chiefs. Patrick Mahomes led the Chiefs on four touchdown drives in the second half to secure a 38-35 victory. Hurts, meanwhile, totaled 374 yards and four touchdowns on the NFL's biggest stage but also fumbled.

The 24-year-old Hurts' second season as the starter was a drastic improvement from his first. The 2022 second-team All-Pro went 14-1, racking up 4,461 yards of offense with 35 touchdowns and only nine turnovers. He was one of five MVP finalists.

The Eagles' quarterback room - led by Hurts - was ranked fourth on theScore's quarterback rankings.
