Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts was ranked as the No. 9 player at his position in the latest poll of NFL executives, coaches and scouts conducted by ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.

For years now, Hurts has been underappreciated as an NFL quarterback. It’s mainly because he isn’t a pure passer with elite arm talent. Hurts can make a lot of throws, but there are some that he hasn’t mastered. And when compared to other quarterbacks like Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow, and Josh Allen, those inadequacies are noticeable.

Criticism of Jalen Hurts' game is valid. But Hurts' Super Bowl MVP is what does — and should — matter to Nick Sirianni.

Gripes that the Eagles' QB and Super Bowl MVP is constantly slighted grow louder with each national ranking, but Hurts is truly a difficult comparison.

CJ Gardner-Johnson is one of the most outspoken players in the NFL, and that might have gotten him in hot water while he was in Philly.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts had an opportunity to share time with Michael Jordan and Carmelo Anthony after the Super Bowl.

It has become a popular talking point among Jalen Hurts' detractors to suggest that his incredibly talented supporting cast on offense carried him to last season's Super Bowl title.

"One of the reasons I love football so much is that it takes everybody to accomplish your goals," Sirianni said.

Despite a year that saw Hurts hoist up the Lombardi Trophy and earn Super Bowl MVP, the quarterback barely cracked ESPN’s top 10. Instead, quarterbacks like Jared Goff (No. 8), Justin Herbert (No. 7), Matthew Stafford (No. 6), and Jayden Daniels (No. 5) were ranked above him.

Months ago, Brandon Graham was riding through the streets of Philadelphia on a Super Bowl champions bus, celebrating the team's second Lombardi Trophy.Then, Graham went out on top in March and retired from football after 15 seasons with the Eagles.
