Jalen Hurts enters 2026 season nearing rushing touchdown record
Summary

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts enters the 2026 NFL season with 63 career rushing touchdowns. He needs 12 additional scores on the ground to become the third player in league history to record at least 75 rushing touchdowns as a quarterback. Only Josh Allen and Cam Newton have previously reached this mark. Hurts enters the season under new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion following a 2025 campaign in which the Eagles offense struggled. After recording eight rushing touchdowns last year, Hurts has looked faster during summer workouts while executing designed runs and navigating the pocket. The team expects a healthier offensive line to provide more opportunities in the red zone for Hurts to utilize his rushing ability throughout the upcoming schedule.
