Former Eagles LB Convinced Jalen Hurts Doesn't Trust 1 of His WRs
Ex-NFL player Emmanuel Acho accuses Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts of deliberately ignoring one of his WRs.
Former Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Emmanuel Acho has suggested that Jalen Hurts, the team's quarterback, may not trust rookie wide receiver Makai Lemon. Acho made the claim on his YouTube sports show "Pregame." Lemon, a USC product who was drafted by the Eagles in the first round of the 2026 NFL draft, has been overlooked by Hurts during several offensive plays, according to Acho.
The former linebacker pointed out instances from a recent game where Hurts targeted wide receiver DeVonta Smith instead of Lemon, despite Lemon being wide open in several situations. Acho emphasized that Hurts is effectively playing with one hand behind his back due to this lack of trust. The Eagles are currently 2-1 in the NFC East and face the Los Angeles Rams in their upcoming Sunday game.
