Hurts and Tanner McKee (ex-Stanford QB) are QBs 1 and 2.
Now new draft pick Kyle McCord is in the mix, too.
McCord will now look to earn a spot on the Eagles' depth chart. He will be competing with Dorian Thompson-Robinson, a 2023 fifth-round pick who was part of the Eagles' trade with the Browns that included Pickett, for the QB3 job and possibly a final roster spot.Can McCord also challenge Tanner McKee for the primary backup spot? That's unlikely, but not entirely impossible. McKee, a 2023 sixth-round pick, played well last season (he threw for 269 yards and two touchdowns in his first career start, a Week 18 win over the Giants), well enough to convince the Eagles that they could trade Pickett this offseason. That being said, McCord could make things interesting if he has a strong enough spring/summer while making the most of his practice reps. His relationship with {Philly QB coach} Loeffler doesn't hurt his chances, either.
Who's Loeffler?
McCord is also finally getting a chance to work with Scot Loeffler, the team's new quarterbacks coach who offered McCord a scholarship when he was in eighth grade as Boston College's offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach."He's one of the few college coaches that I didn't play for that I still have a lot of conversations with," McCord said, via Sports Illustrated. "And now to be playing for him. I mean you never know how your paths are gonna cross and so it would be in his first year [in the NFL] and obviously my first year in the NFL. Being together is pretty sweet."
