Cam Newton defends leaving Jalen Hurts off his top 10 QB list while firing back at ESPN analysts who criticized his rankings
Former Panthers quarterback Cam Newton is determined to prove that Jalen Hurts is not top 10 at his own position. “It’s hard for me to grade Jalen Hurts with the talent that he has around him,” Newton said in the viral social media clip from last week’s episode of his 4th and 1 podcast.
That’s not just lip service. Matthews has caught passes from his share of signal-callers including but not limited to – Carson Wentz, Ryan Tannehill, and Jimmy Garoppolo. He also played alongside Hurts during the quarterback’s rookie season in 2020. What stood out wasn’t just the talent. It was the mentality.
In a decision that'll surely ruffle the feathers of Eagles fans, Cam Newton did not include Jalen Hurts on his list of the NFL's top 10 QBs.
In response to Cam Newton not naming Jalen Hurts a top 10 quarterback, Dez Bryant responded by saying he's a top five quarterback in a series of posts on social media.
