What do Eagles’ QB Jalen Hurts and newly acquired Dorian Thompson-Robinson have in common?

Recently acquired quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson met with the media virtually for the first time as an Eagle on Thursday.

Thompson-Robinson, who was traded from the Cleveland Browns along with a fifth-round pick for Kenny Pickett, took a look at the Eagles’ practice facility inside the NovaCare Complex before speaking with local reporters.

However, it wasn’t his first time inside the building.

The former UCLA Bruin took a top-30 visit with Philadelphia ahead of the 2023 draft but was ultimately selected by the Browns in the fifth round.

“This was one of my favorite teams coming out in the draft process. I loved everything about my visit here, just the way it was ran.”

The 6-foot-2 quarterback started five games in two seasons with the Browns, completing 121-of-230 passes for 880 yards and one touchdown. He added 187 yards on 35 carries as a dual-threat quarterback.

The Las Vegas native says he’s “pretty good if anyone wants to get a match in, I’ll get you guys my Chess.com account.”

He used to play every day during his time at UCLA and now still plays frequently. The skills he learns from the game is something he uses when it comes to being an NFL quarterback.

“So much of this position is about decision-making. I think that’s really all chess is, it’s just a board to make decisions on and every decision means something. You have to be consistent in that,” Thompson-Robinson said. “I think that’s really how it helps playing quarterback and really all positions. It’s just being able to take that same mentality and mindset into the game and know…
