The ESPN survey listed the eight quarterbacks (in order) ahead of Hurts as the Kansas City Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes, Buffalo Bills’ Josh Allen, Cincinnati Bengals’ Joe Burrow, Baltimore Ravens’ Lamar Jackson, Washington Commanders’ Jayden Daniels, Los Angeles Rams’ Matthew Stafford, Los Angeles Chargers’ Justin Herbert and Detroit Lions’ Jared Goff.

Jalen Hurts was not considered a top-five quarterback in the NFL, according to a recent poll. A former player-turned-analyst went off on the rankings this week.

I don’t think there’s a mountain that I can’t climb. With my work ethic, I know I will. It’s not a matter of if, it’s a matter of when.”

"One of the reasons I love football so much is that it takes everybody to accomplish your goals," Sirianni said.

Despite a year that saw Hurts hoist up the Lombardi Trophy and earn Super Bowl MVP, the quarterback barely cracked ESPN’s top 10. Instead, quarterbacks like Jared Goff (No. 8), Justin Herbert (No. 7), Matthew Stafford (No. 6), and Jayden Daniels (No. 5) were ranked above him.

Gripes that the Eagles' QB and Super Bowl MVP is constantly slighted grow louder with each national ranking, but Hurts is truly a difficult comparison.

Joe Burrow and Jalen Hurts are both elite fantasy quarterbacks, but who should fantasy football managers target on draft day?
