Jalen Hurts praises promising second-year WR at Training Camp, says he could be the next A.J. Brown.

In the summer heat of Eagles training camp, Jalen Hurts has seen something that stopped him in his tracks—not a flashy throw or a viral highlight, but the rise of a young wide receiver who, in his words, carries the same energy and impact as one of the best in the league.

To those watching closely, it wasn’t hard to notice. This receiver consistently dominated reps. He fought off press coverage, climbed the ladder for tough catches, and ran his routes with the precision of a veteran. But for Hurts, it wasn’t just about the physical tools. It was something deeper.

“That kid’s got it,” Hurts said when asked about the standout performances. “The physicality, the timing, the hunger—it reminds me of someone I used to go to war with back in the day. You watch him run a route, make a contested catch, shake off a veteran corner, and it just clicks: that’s the next one. That’s the next A.J.”

Coming from a quarterback who’s built a record-setting partnership with A.J. Brown, those words carry serious weight. It’s not every day that a Pro Bowl QB casually compares a young player to one of the most dominant wideouts in the NFL.

But that’s exactly what’s happening at NovaCare Complex. Coaches have quietly taken notice. Teammates are starting to look differently. Even defensive backs, when mic’d up, have been caught muttering respect after going head-to-head.

Hurts, never one to hype without reason, has made it clear: he sees a future star forming—one route, one rep, one camp battle at a time.

In a receiver room that already features proven playmakers like Brown and DeVonta Smith, this young Eagle is making a case for meaningful snaps come September. He may not have the résumé yet, but he has the work ethic, the mindset, and now—the quarterback’s full belief.

That wide receiver is second-year breakout candidate Johnny Wilson.

And if Hurts is right, Eagles fans may be watching the beginning of a new dynamic duo in midnight green.

Packers' Star QB Refuses MVP Title to Fully Focus on Team in Tough Phase
Can you believe it? Jordan Love, the "red-hot" quarterback of the Green Bay Packers, is on track to compete for MVP with +1000 odds at DraftKings – but this guy is "refusing" personal glory to pour all his energy into the team struggling with a "hellish" schedule! Is this a heroic act or just a ploy? Read now to uncover the "truth" behind it! In the Super Bowl era, the Packers have produced three MVP legends: Bart Starr (1966), Brett Favre (1995-1997), and Aaron Rodgers (2011, 2014, 2020, 2021). Now, Jordan Love has a chance to become the fourth, putting the Packers on par with the Baltimore/Indianapolis Colts – the only team with four QB MVPs like Johnny Unitas, Earl Morrall, Bert Jones, and Peyton Manning. With his current "explosive" form, Love ranks fourth in the NFL for passer rating (105.4), tied for fifth in touchdown passes (22), with only four interceptions – the fewest among QBs starting all 13 games, and a 67.1% completion rate ranking seventh. But instead of "dreaming" of MVP, Love seems to be "rejecting" it! In a recent interview, he emphasized: "These are the most important games of the season, obviously with a lot of things coming down to playoff seeding and the division race, so this is the important football. I think it’s everybody, we keep stacking and keep getting better and better throughout the season and learn from the mistakes we make and overcome some of the obstacles. Just keep stacking and trying to find ways to get better every day is something that’s been helping us." These words are like a clear "declaration": Love doesn't care about MVP, but only wants to focus on the team in its "tough phase" with a 9-3-1 record, trailing the Rams (10-3) in the NFC. Head coach Matt LaFleur also "sings along": "Yeah, he’s playing really good football right now. That’s obviously important and it’s going to be important moving forward." And offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich praises the consistency: "I would say just the consistency that he’s had has been great... Just being a consistent, efficient quarterback is one thing that I’ve been really pleased with." But it's Packers defensive end Micah Parsons who "reveals" why Love deserves but is "overlooking" MVP: "I definitely think he deserves recognition... If you go off strength of schedule, how he's played and with him missing half his receivers, I think that goes unnoticed, too. Some of the things he did without (Christian Watson) early in the year, then (Jayden Reed), so this guy was missing two of his starting receivers majority of the year and they're just now getting back in these last eight weeks of the stretch, so I definitely think he deserves a lot more credit and I'm just happy I'm able to be a part of this journey with him." Currently, Matthew Stafford of the Rams leads the MVP race with -180 odds, 35 touchdown passes (far ahead of Dak Prescott with 26), passer rating 113.1, and only four interceptions. Drake Maye of the Patriots follows with +200, passer rating 111.9, 3,412 passing yards, and 23 touchdowns. Love, with a four-game winning streak (nine touchdowns, one interception, passer rating 112.1), could stage a comeback if he maintains "red-hot form" – especially in the upcoming two "epic" games: away at Denver (11-2) and Chicago (9-4). If the Packers leap to the NFC's No. 1 seed (likely needing a 4-0 finish), while the Rams stumble against Detroit (8-5) and Seattle (10-3), or the Patriots slip against Buffalo (9-4) and Baltimore (6-7), Love would have a shot at MVP. But with his "humble" attitude, does Love really want to "accept" that title? Or is he sacrificing personally to save the Packers from the "tough phase"? The 2025 NFL drama is "hotter than ever"! Do you think Love is "playing a trick" to motivate the team? Comment now and follow for the "shocking" outcome of the MVP race!
