Jalen Hurts connects with DeVonta Smith for Eagles touchdown

Jalen Hurts and DeVonta Smith have a connection from their days in Alabama. It didn’t take long for that chemistry to translate to the NFL.

The Philadelphia Eagles grabbed a 7-3 lead over the Atlanta Falcons in the first quarter as Hurts, who played at Alabama before transferring to Oklahoma, found the 2020 Heisman Trophy winner with a pretty pass from 18 yards for a touchdown.

The reception was the first for Smith, who the Eagles drafted by jumping the Giants in the 2021 NFL draft in a tradie with the Dallas Cowboys.

Looks like he is going to be a matchup nightmare with that kind of speed and route-running.
