3 quarterbacks who will do the most damage with their legs this NFL season

1. Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia Eagles

In terms of rushing yards, Jalen Hurts ranked behind Justin Fields, Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen in 2022. But Hurts’ 760 rushing yards are nothing to sneeze at, especially since Hurts is the only quarterback on this list who advanced to the Super Bowl last season. More than anyone else, Hurts has been successful at blending his rushing and passing ability to lead a prolific 14-3 campaign for the Philadelphia Eagles. If it weren’t for the Washington Commanders, the Eagles may have snapped their nine-game undefeated streak — one they set during their Super Bowl-winning season in 2017.

NFL predictions are often predicated on past success, but some are predicting Hurts to outpace his competitors in rushing touchdowns next season. According to The Philadelphia Inquirer, FanDuel Sportsbook expects Hurts to score the most rushing touchdowns at quarterback in 2023, although opinions vary at other sportsbooks.

It’s a promising outlook for Hurts, who rushed for 10 touchdowns in 2021 and 13 touchdowns in 2022. When it comes to wins, Hurts is coming off of the best campaign in the NFC. When it comes to scores, Hurts is predicted to register the most with his legs. Hurts’ proven success and given potential thoroughly captures what it means to do damage with one’s legs, and clearly, Hurts is positioned to do the most.
