Jalen Hurts has only ever thrown 10+ interceptions in one season—back during the 2023 season when he threw 15. The following two seasons, Hurts threw for a combined 11 picks. So, he doesn’t exactly fall into the “interception merchant” category. And yet, the veteran quarterback is facing heat for a pick at the Philadelphia Eagles training camp.

In a Twitter video uploaded by the Eagles’ official Twitter account, Hurts can be seen throwing a pick at the camp. Hurts, in the red (non-contact) jersey, zips a ball through a crowd of Eagles teammates, looking for a receiver.

However, Hurts’ pass was intercepted by All-Pro corner Quinyon Mitchell. The clip ends with Mitchell kicking the ball into oblivion.

Fans react to Jalen Hurts’ interceptions at Eagles camp

Hurts’ playing style has come under fire over the last few years despite delivering the Super Bowl trophy. All-Pro wide receiver AJ Brown claimed that Hurts wasn’t throwing the ball enough to him.

The two players drifted apart in 2025. After the Eagles were knocked out in the wildcard round, Brown requested a trade to another team because the offense had become stagnant. According to StatMuse, the Eagles averaged 22.3 points per game, which was worse than teams like the New York Giants (finished at the bottom of the NFC East), the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Dallas Cowboys, the Detroit Lions, and the Indianapolis Colts—none of whom qualified for the postseason.

The Eagles appointed former Packers quarterbacks coach Sean Mannion as the new offensive coordinator. However, with a few weeks left before Week 1 of football, Hurts is still making mistakes. Critics who want to see Hurts fail jumped on the opportunity to call out the Super Bowl MVP for a mistake he made in training.

Perhaps the admin of the Eagles Twitter account wasn’t expecting the video to blow up so much and for all the wrong reasons. The famous quote from Canadian novelist Robertson Davies: “The eyes see only what the mind is prepared to comprehend” defines this context perfectly. Admin clearly posted the video to praise Mitchell, as evident by the caption “Right on Q.” However, fans quickly morphed it into a witch trial of Jalen Hurts. A few pointed it out in the comment section.

The Eagles drafted Hurts 105th overall in 2020. Since then, he has logged a 57-25 regular-season record and completed 64.4% of his passes for 17,891 yards, 110 touchdowns, and 45 interceptions. Hurts also rushed for 3554 yards and scored 63 TDs. Hurts boasts a 6-4 record in the playoffs.

Hurts has earned an All-Pro accolade and participated in three Pro Bowls. Hurts has been left out of the latest ESPN top 10 NFL quarterback list, voted by NFL coaches, executives, and scouts.
