Marcus Mariota wants to help Jalen Hurts this season
The Philadelphia Eagles came close to winning a Super Bowl last season. Jalen Hurts finished second in the MVP race in 2022 and came within a drive of leading the Eagles to their second NFL title in five seasons. The Eagles signed Marcus Mariota to backup Hurts next season after Gardner Minshew signed with the Indianapolis Colts. Mariota said recently he wants to enjoy being an Eagle next season.
According to Kevin Patra with the NFL.com, Mariota said his goal next season is to help Hurts become a better quarterback, so the Eagles can be a better team in 2023:
“I’m at a point in my career where I’ve experienced everything,” Mariota said Wednesday. “I’ve been the guy, I’ve been the scout team guy, I’ve been released. So through all those different situations and scenarios, I’ve gathered a lot of experience, a lot of knowledge. I’m at a point in my career where I just want to enjoy the game. I want to have fun doing it. The scheme is very exciting for me, and the fact of the matter is, I feel like I can help Jalen. If we can make Jalen a better player, this team is going to be better.”
If Hurts can progress even more next season, the Eagles could win the Super Bowl next February.
