He lost his job to Tua Tagovailoa and transferred to Oklahoma for his final year. Hurts became a Heisman Trophy runner-up last year in Norman, passing for 3,851 yards and running for 1,298 yards.
The Eagles might be able to use him in a similar way the New Orleans Saints use Taysom Hill, running, receiving and passing.
