Eagles QB Jalen Hurts. You tame those brows a bit on Hurts, and I think you’re there.
Career Highlights
Reference above for his on-the-field stuff to date. Excited about what he’s going to do this year.
2026 Prospectus
There are a lot of questions about the wide receivers this year and how the ball is going to get into their hands. This being his final year (maybe? not sure if the NCAA is going to get sued again about eligibility requirements) he should be hungry and aggressive to make his mark. Cameron Bates and Ben Ford (when healthy?) are most likely the two WR starters for the opener, after that it’s anyone’s guess. But Morris should see plenty of time.
Is he on Twitter?
NIL Exchange:
Didn’t see one but he does have a business contact in his Twitter bio.
Completely made up fact
A big fan of snacking (especially before working out) the white cheddar rice cakes are a particular favorite for Mr. Morris.
I don’t think there has been a lot said about him since fall camp. I hope he’s one of those guys that you say, “Wow, where did he come from?”
SD said something interesting a couple of days ago. There are around 50 new names on this season’s roster.
