For now, the top-rated Hurts rookie card is the 2020 Panini Prizm. Numbered #343, the card shows Jalen scrambling to his right while looking for an open wideout or tight end (he may have to get accustomed to scrambling a lot with the Eagles).
His name and team name are centered at the bottom, while the Panini Prizm RC logo is placed in the top left corner. A great card if you think Jalen will have a future in the NFL.

2020 Jalen Hurts Panini Mosaic Prizm RC #222
We have said it once, and we will repeat it the 2020 Panini Mosaic football cards are nice-looking cards (some may disagree) and, in particular, the high-end parallels.
Note: We hope Panini continues to produce Mosaic cards for years to come as long as they keep up the modern style look to the card tradition
Numbered #222, the card shows Jalen standing tall in the pocket, looking downfield for an open wide receiver. His name and team name are smashed in the bottom right, while the Mosaic graphic is placed in the top left (the Mosaic graphic is a fire, in our opinion).
2020 Jalen Hurts Donruss Optic Downtown RC #DT-34

Investment Outlook
Did we like Jalen Hurts in college? Yes.
Do we like Jalen Hurts in the NFL? No.
We have been wrong before (i.e., LaMelo Ball), but we cannot see Mr. Hurts doing anything special in the City of Brotherly Love and would be SHOCKED if he made a deep playoff run or represented the team in a future Pro Bowl.
Update 2023: We missed this one! I’m still not convinced he is a top QB, and it could be more to do with the team than Hurts, BUT he has proven us wrong so far.
Jalen Hurts is a great person, a good leader, and a good college player, but we don’t see enough talent in him to make an impact in the NFL for the long term.
