“Yea he’s super athletic man, and he’s also very smart,” said Minshew. “For a rookie to come in here and be making all the calls, and doing all the things he’s doing is super impressive. I’m very excited for his future, and for him to just keep getting better.”

Jurgens has gotten some good playing time in the 1st 2 preseason matchups with the Eagles. He had 10 snaps in the win against the Cleveland Browns per PFF, and took 51% of the snaps in the loss to the New York Jets per SB Nation.
Jurgens will most likely be backing up center Jason Kelce.
