Eagles QB Jalen Hurts shows off perfect chemistry with WR1 AJ Brown

The haters will say it's just training camp practice.

But real Philadelphia Eagles fans will understand.

Quarterback Jalen Hurts and his top wide receiver, AJ Brown, showed off their perfect chemistry at practice on Tuesday.

Hurts launched a deep ball to Brown, who came down with the catch with rookie Quinyon Mitchell guarding him.

The placement was perfect, Brown's route running and toe taps were on point. Everything was in sync and that's exactly what you want to see two weeks away from Week 1 of the 2024 NFL season under a new coaching staff and playbook.

Even Brown was so excited about the catch that he punted the ball to celebrate.

Hurts is learning his third new offense since entering the league in 2020, but this is the first time that he has been given a lot more freedom to make the offense his own.

Jalen Hurts Taking Leadership of Offense

Offensive coordinator Kellen Moore has been overall impressed with Hurts' leadership and ability to take control of the offense throughout training camp.

“Jalen has just had an excellent camp,” Moore told reporters on Tuesday. “He’s got great command of this offense, great utilization of tools when he wants to and communication with the offensive line, with the receivers. I just think it’s been an awesome process, excellent.”

Moore also dove into what makes Hurts or any quarterback successful in his offense, emphasizing that the QB needs to be able to process the game quickly.

“I think just the speed of the operation," Moore said. "In and out of the huddle, at the line of scrimmage, is the pace of play going at the rate that you want it to and then obviously the decision making and how quickly he can process the game, eliminate some of his progressions, get the ball to the ideal look. Run game, they show up a lot of times because sometimes the QB has to have some tools in the run game to get us in and out of particular plays based off the looks.

"So when you tie all that together, it’s an operation. Everyone sees the throwing ability and that’s certainly first and foremost — you have to be able to throw the football — but the ability to command the offense and operate it in the run game, pass game, and protection game takes growing and developing and these guys have done a really good job with it.”
