Well, Jalen Hurts is clearly ready for the 2021 season to begin …
The Philadelphia Eagles QB was spotted in the gym this month putting on a serious display of strength … deadlifting 620 pounds!!!

It’s unclear exactly where Jalen was throwing around the iron … but the lift is impressive as hell nonetheless — considering the 22-year-old tips the scales at just 6’1″, 223 lbs.
Check out the clip of the rep … Hurts is able to get the weight up with a perfect form and not a whole lot of energy spent.
Seriously … the guy made it look easy!!
Of course, it’s a great sign for the Eagles … because after the team traded Carson Wentz this offseason — its ’21 success is basically riding on whether or not Hurts can officially handle QB1 duties.
You’ll recall … the dude stepped in for Wentz at the end of last year and played pretty well — finishing the season with 1,061 passing yards, 6 passing TDs and 3 rushing TDs in 4 starts.
Maybe some added bulk this summer can help improve on those numbers?? Philly’s fingers are certainly crossed!!
