The Philadelphia Eagles are entering a new era on the field without center Jason Kelce, the future Hall of Famer and star of the unstoppable ‘Tush Push’ play.

One NFL analyst is eyeing Kelce’s successor as a top breakout candidate this season.

Jared Dubin of CBSSports.com recently named one breakout player for every NFL team in 2024, and former second-round pick Cam Jurgens was highlighted for the Eagles. Here was Dubin’s reasoning:

“It was difficult to narrow down whom to choose for the Eagles, so we went with the player who would benefit the team the most if he had a breakout year. Jurgens is taking over for a future Hall of Famer in Jason Kelce, and how he performs as the pivot man in the offensive line will play a huge role in whether or not the team can carry over its consistent run-game success.”
Jurgens has worked closely with Kelce throughout his pro career, backing him up as a rookie and playing beside him on the offensive line in 2023. Like Kelce, he’s an interesting guy off the field. He launched his own beef jerky company, handing out samples to coaches during his pre-draft interviews. He also tweeted a viral clip of himself practicing pass blocking skills against a steer:

Hey, whatever works. If Jurgens’ play on the field can match his big personality, the Eagles will be in good shape to start the 2024 season.
