Jalen Hurts to Operate More Under Center in Sean Mannion’s New Eagles Offense

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is set to undergo a schematic shift as new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion plans to utilize more under-center snaps in 2026. This move marks a departure from the team's 76.3% shotgun rate in 2025. The change is intended to create a more balanced offensive attack and is expected to benefit the running game, specifically Saquon Barkley. Hurts' adaptation to this increased under-center volume will be a primary focus during the Eagles' offseason program.
