Seven years ago, he became the successor to the Hall of Fame and the Super Bowl Starting Center seven years ago, the snaps, checks and protections scattered in the most essential links on the attack line were the camjurgens. I didn't go beyond my heart.
Instead, the aggressive coordinator Travis Schuster has planned how to get the ball as much as possible in the Beatrice High School Star Tight End and Line Bucker Jurgens as much as possible.
He was lined up as an external receiver for jumping balls.
He was working as a down block of “Super Power”, one of the best running play. He returned to the outside to block for jet sweep, hit the roll and ran as a rusher.
There were Jail break screen, slot receipt bar, full backlap, and conventional running calls. Everything worked.
Then, when Jurgen functioned as a blocking tight end, Chuster and other Beatrice staff did not knock on the defender or push out the screen, and poorly achieved during the movie session. I assigned.
At that time, most coaches looked at Jurgen and watched it as a defensive lineman or tight end across high school, taking into account the fusion of explosivity and size.
However, within the first year of Nebraska in 2018, the head coach Scott Frost at the time was caught in Jurgens in 2022 and retired in March, Jason Kels. He approached him on the switch to support the final change of Eagles. 。
For a small town of Nebraska, who grew up in a family farm with a picklel (population 185) and attended a high school in Beatrice (over 12,000 population), it was not a linear road, but the Jurgen who has acquired it. Appearance is the first professional bowl of his 25 -year -old career in his career in 2024, followed by the most prominent stage in sports next weekend.
“It can be difficult to think it is real,” said his mother, Beth Jurgens. “Sometimes it is difficult to go to the bar, go to a restaurant using a TV, and think that it is my child. “
But at first, Jurgens said to the center, “I questioned the movement,” said former Beatrice head coach Bob Sexston. When he called his father Beth and Ted, they thought they would go to Nebraska's defense line at first to tell them. When Jurgen called Sugen, his heart jumped into a similar scenario.
“No, I'm going to touch all the balls of all play,” said Shugens. “Well, I immediately knew he had no way to play a quarterback.”
Jurgens had to make up for the lost time. Other centers had many years of snapping experience that Jurgen could not duplicate overnight. He had to navigate the growing pain, such as shotgun flicks, and settled on the rhythm. Beth said he was practicing with his roommate in Nebraska, and eventually he became a starter at the beginning of the 2019 season after the Red shirt.
“I will catch a touchdown pass, make a tackle, dank basketball, and go to a position where I can not give glory on an aggressive line,” Seexon said. “But the fact that he had the ball in his hand was that he had all his eyes, and the mistakes he committed with a bad snap was expanded.”
As an Eagles rookie, he backed up Kelus. In the second year, he slipped down and became their right guard. However, when Kelse announced his retirement in March, Philadelphia's inheritance plan -Beth always pushed Jurgen into the spotlight.
Sexton immediately said that it became a “dream realization” for Jurgens's family.
On Sunday, Jurgens's second Super Bowl appears, and at least 10 families and friends will attend. Jurgens has contributed to Sakon Berkley's 2,005 yard season.
He surprised everyone in the NFC championship game last weekend. He did not play in the first half due to injury, but then broke until the second half after Landon Dickerson left.
“He can do some things in NFL now, especially in his pulling and such things, there is no other center,” says Shuster. I said. “It's his natural athletic ability … and when he came in and knew he was hurt, he did it before. You have gained the strength of the farm on the farm, and he shows what he needs to win.
For the first two years of Jurgens's career, it was formed by learning from Kelse.
However, if Eagles predicted a drop -off after the exit of Kels, Jurgens would never happen.
