Concern over Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts’ leadership style has shockingly grown in recent weeks.
Over the last month, the All-Pro quarterback has been called “not approachable” by anonymous sources within the organization with others frustrated at the signal-caller’s lack of change in personality after dropping six of the final seven games in the 2023.
Those reports all seemed to come to a head Tuesday afternoon when NBC Sports’ own Barrett Brooks cited a previous conversation with Eagles punt-returner Britain Covey as another reason why Hurts’ leadership has been called into question on the National Football Show with Dan Sileo .
“Covey said, well, I’ve always had the time to go in and talk to any coach. An open door policy,” Brooks told Sileo. “But I didn’t because I was scared to death to go in there. He equated that to the same thing as Jalen Hurts. I believe I can go talk to him, but I never did because I was scared to death.”
Less than a day after having his name dropped in a piece disparaging his quarterback, Covey made sure to set the record straight and refuted the report.
