Jurgens, a second-round pick out of Nebraska in 2022, is a center by trade but is trying his hand at guard with veteran Jason Kelce returning for a 13th season.
"I reached out [to Kelce] and I just said, 'Hey, congrats. You had a hell of a year. I'm so pumped you're coming back. I can't wait to play with you again, whether I'm learning behind you or playing next to you again.' Jason is such a great guy," Jurgens said. "He's just like, 'Yeah, I'm sorry I'm coming back for another year.' I'm like, 'Dude, you owe me nothing.' He's done so much for me already and I'm pumped he's back."
Jurgens currently weighs around 305 pounds, he said, adding that he would like to come into training camp in the 310-315 pound range to be ready for the rigors of his new position.
