Recently, Jalen Hurts won the hearts of football fans across the world, with his heartfelt gesture. While the world takes a bow for the Philadelphia Eagles QB, he isn’t the only quarterback who has helped out the needy!

Recently, Jarvon Coles, a football player at the North Shore High School in Texas, met an untimely demise. Coles played for QB Hurts’ rival school team. Upon hearing the news, the Eagles’ QB approached the grieving family to cover the entire funeral-related costs. But this was not a one-off incident. Over the years, many QBs have gone above and beyond to help others out.

As the fan was trying to get her vehicle in a moving condition, the 25-year-old came to her rescue.

Jalen Hurts

Hurts makes another entry, signifying the good-natured man that he is. Back in 2022, the Eagles were playing at the Washington Commanders.

And after the game, while the QB was heading towards the tunnel, a railing fell, and fans came tumbling down. Instead of trying to not get hurt, Hurts started helping the fans out!

Jared Goff

Before Christmas last year, the Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff helped a ton of kids. Goff donated footballs to ‘Toys for Tots’. He put in the hard work as well, since the balls were inflated by him and her fiancé before the donation.

Josh Allen

The Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen also fulfilled someone’s Christmas wish. A day before the holiday, the Bills matched up against the Los Angeles Chargers. And a young 9-year-old Ari wanted Allen’s autograph, though he couldn’t get it.

Allen saw the young boy’s disappointment later on and personally called him to say sorry and wished him a Merry Christmas.

Tom Brady

Tom Brady has shown he is the GOAT on and off the field! Back in 2021, Brady admired a young boy who had fought and won against cancer. The young boy wanted to thank TB12 for being an inspiration.
