Jalen Hurts, the 24-year-old quarterback of the Philadelphia Eagles, has been in the spotlight recently for two reasons. One is a leaked picture from his phone that shows his motivation to win. The other is an old message from 2020 that reveals his enthusiasm for joining the Eagles and his admiration for Patrick Mahomes, the quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs. The picture on Hurts’ phone is from the 57th Super Bowl, where the Chiefs defeated the Eagles 38-35 in a thrilling game.

Hurts had a stellar performance, but he fell short of winning the MVP award, which went to Mahomes. The image captures the moment when Hurts walked off the field without the trophy, a reminder of his defeat and his determination to overcome it.

Hurts’ 17-second draft message is a snapshot of NFL history

The message from 2020 is a brief 17-second video that Hurts sent after he was drafted by the Eagles. He expressed his excitement about joining the team and his eagerness to work hard with his teammates. The 25 YO star QB even mentioned his curiosity about trying a signature Philly cheesesteak.

“Eagles’ fans, man this is Jalen Hurts here, I’m so excited to be an Eagle, put my hat on, ready to get with the guys, ready to be in Philadelphia, ready to go to work,” Hurts said in the video.

Interestingly, now, the NFL’s top 100 players list is out. Patrick Mahomes secured the top spot, having led the Chiefs to a Super Bowl victory.

In a conversation with Harold Kuntz, a journalist for Fox 4, Hurts said that Mahomes “has always been a great player” and that he respects him a lot. Hurts and Mahomes made history as the first duo of African American quarterbacks to face each other in a Super Bowl.
