More Tight Ends Jalen Hurts in 2025: In 11
54.9 QBR (18th in NFL)
6.8% sack rate In 12
63.6 QBR (10th in NFL)
4.2%

What happened: Dan Orlovsky highlighted a personnel split in Jalen Hurts' 2025 numbers, arguing for heavier tight-end usage. In two-tight-end (12) personnel, Hurts posted a 63.6 QBR, 10th in the NFL, with a 4.2% sack rate. In single-tight-end (11) personnel, those figures dropped to a 54.9 QBR, 18th in the league, with a 6.8% sack rate.

Why it matters: The gap feeds an offseason argument that the offense functions better with an extra blocker and underneath target, lowering pressure on Hurts and sharpening his efficiency. It dovetails with earlier talk that the offense is set to change its approach heading into 2026.

By the numbers: 2025 personnel split: 12 personnel — 63.6 QBR (10th), 4.2% sack rate. 11 personnel — 54.9 QBR (18th), 6.8% sack rate. The sack rate fell 2.6 points and QBR rose nearly nine points with the second tight end on the field.

What to watch: Watch whether offseason install and OTAs lean into more two-tight-end looks ahead of the 2026 season.
