Lamar Jackson will have a new coordinator in 2023 — or maybe he’ll consider sitting out the entire season. Jalen Hurts, meanwhile, might cash in with a deal worth at least $46M annually any day now. Updated NFL free-agency 2024 rankings ⤵️
’s most electric runner after he missed the final five games of 2021 and 2022, and it’s the primary reason I considered Hurts at No. 1. But Jackson didn’t miss a game because of injury through his first three seasons . Hurts has missed three games because of injury in three seasons, including two in 2022. Both players’ styles put them at risk.
Hurts was the MVP runner-up in 2022, but Jackson won the award unanimously in 2019 and has clearly been the better passer: In four seasons as a full-time starter, Jackson ranks ninth in EPA per dropback and 13th in EPA per pass attempt . In two seasons as a full-time starter, Hurts ranks 13th and 19th, respectively. He took a huge leap in 2022 by ranking ninth in both categories, but Jackson ranked first and second in his MVP season.
Running the ball, they’re neck and neck. Since 2019, Jackson narrowly leads in rush EPA per game, and Hurts narrowly leads in EPA per rush, with Jackson averaging 2.5 more carries per game.Yes, Hurts is 19 months younger, is perhaps still ascending, has drawn rave reviews for his leadership and nearly helped his team to a Lombardi Trophy.
Jackson will have a new coordinator in 2023, whether that’s in Baltimore with Todd Monken or somewhere else — or maybe he’ll consider sitting out the entire season. Hurts, meanwhile, should cash in with a deal worth at least $46 million annually, perhaps any day.
