Cam Jurgens has been forthright about the challenge of stepping into the shoes of Jason Kelce, a revered figure in the Eagles’ lineup.

The Philadelphia Eagles made offensive lineman Cam Jurgens a second-round pick during the 2022 NFL Draft to have him eventually become the replacement for center and franchise legend Jason Kelce.

Jurgens understands making the move from right guard won’t always be a delight considering who previously played center for the organization.

Kelce didn’t just earn seven Pro Bowl and six First-Team All-Pro nods featuring at center for the Eagles from 2011 through his retirement at the end of the 2023-24 season. He was also an outspoken leader for a club that allegedly dealt with behind-the-scenes issues during its collapse across the final month and a half of the past campaign and that has been the subject of concerning rumors regarding the relationship between head coach Nick Sirianni and quarterback Jalen Hurts

Hurts reportedly has already shown improvement in multiple aspects of his game while working with new offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, who replaced Brian Johnson this past winter. According to Kubena, everyone on Philadelphia’s offensive line will be tasked with “calling out checks for blitz protections” in Moore’s offensive scheme meant to get Hurts back to where he was when he emerged as a regular-season Most Valuable Player Award finalist for the 2022 campaign.

In order for the Eagles to fully close the book on all that went wrong for them leading up to their wild-card playoff loss at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this past January, Jurgens, Hurts and the rest of the Philadelphia offense will need things to be better than “good” beginning with their Week 1 game versus the Green Bay Packers in Sao Paulo, Brazil, on Sept. 6.
