2. His Skill-Set Screams Superstar

The way teams are viewing dual-threat quarterbacks has changed a bit since the Baltimore Ravens took Lamar Jackson. Following his MVP season in 2019, Jackson has changed the game at quarterback. Jalen Hurts has a very similar skill-set and his potential screams superstar.

Last season with the Sooners, Hurts completed 69.7 percent of his pass attempts for 3,851 yards, 32 touchdowns, and eight interceptions. He also racked up 1,298 yards and 20 touchdowns on the ground. Those numbers show huge potential.

Hurts is also the kind of player who wants to learn and become the best. Being able to learn from Rodgers and work under Matt LaFleur would be a great start to his NFL career.

Green Bay and Hurts seem like a perfect match. If the Packers decide to go with a quarterback, Hurts would be the guy to draft.
