The Philadelphia Eagles have a lot of new faces on offense, but they are hoping for a big season from quarterback Jalen Hurts.
On Wednesday, the Eagles posted a video of Hurts at training camp, although the pass he threw was intercepted by star defensive back Quinyon Mitchell.

It was quite surprising to see the Eagles’ social media account posting the clip.
Right away, plenty of fans and analysts had reactions to the video.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen an NFL team’s social media account just firing up clips of their own QB getting picked off… https://t.co/tL33jg6jiI

Odd choice for a social media clip https://t.co/7lO74NjOMX

Putting your starting QB on blast when there are already rumblings he cant use the middle of the field is a choice https://t.co/vWSnB5rPZs

But why would the Eagles social media team post this, we know Quinyon is good, we didn’t need to see the pick… https://t.co/CaQaD1vycA

The video quickly circulated, and it took only a few hours for the video to register over 5 million views on social media.
5 million views in 4 hours. 😳

I won’t guarantee somebody gets fired for this, but given my experience with the lengths people go to protect Jalen, somebody getting cussed out for sure and then may get fired. https://t.co/CaQaD1vycA
Hurts was named Super Bowl LIX MVP after defeating the Kansas City Chiefs in 2025, but the Eagles lost in the Wild Card round in the past postseason in a game against the San Francisco 49ers.
In 2025, Hurts threw for 3,224 yards with 25 touchdowns and 6 interceptions, although accusations swirled this spring that Hurts was holding the offense back.
The Eagles have a new offensive coordinator in 34-year-old Sean Mannion, and they traded away AJ Brown to the New England Patriots, but plays like this aren’t going to sit well with fans going into the 2026 campaign.
