How fast is Jalen Hurts now?

Jalen Hurts has apparently discovered a new level of foot speed.

As Jalen Hurts enters his age-28 season with the Philadelphia Eagles, his speed has become the hottest topic in the league. Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio and defensive lineman Jalen Carter have both commented on seeing a new level of athleticism from the former Super Bowl MVP. Even ESPN’s Adam Schefter was reportedly blown away by Hurts’ speed during the team’s camp, which took place just five days after the quarterback turned 28.

The rapid rise in Hurts' speed has left many people amazed, given that many athletes tend to peak physically around the age of 28. It is plausible that Hurts' offseason training regimen may have contributed to his newfound explosiveness and trimmer physique. However, the real question remains unanswered – with new technology set to reveal just how many miles per hour he can run, the exact number may never be known.

While it is not disputed that Hurts is faster than ever, fans are left wanting more concrete data, such as his current 40-yard dash time compared to his performance during his draft years.
