Philadelphia Eagles center Cam Jurgens describes winning the Super Bowl
A former Nebraska offensive lineman recapped the experience of winning the Super Bowl this past season. Center Cam Jurgens and the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22.
Jurgens described the experience as the worst and best month of his life. He made the comments while talking to News Channel Nebraska.
'The playoffs was the worst month of my life and the best month of my life all in one, it hurt so much some days I could even walk or move. But it's all about getting ready to play. Laying your body out on the line for your team and doing what you can.'
The honors won't stop there for the former Husker. Next Friday, Beatrice High School, in Beatrice, Nebraska, will name its football field Cam Jurgens Field after the former Nebraska center.
Jurgens was a three-sport star at Beatrice High and was the top in-state prospect in the 2018 recruiting class. He would sign with the Cornhuskers and played for Nebraska from 2018-21. The former Husker started his career as a tight end before making the switch to center.
The Philadelphia Eagles selected the center in the second round with the 51st pick overall in the 2022 NFL draft. He recently signed a four-year $68 million extension with the Philadelphia Eagles. This includes a $39.4 million guaranteed contract and keeps him with the organization through the 2029 season.
Jurgens described the experience while making an appearance at his hometown of Pickrell, Nebraska's Pickrell Picnic.

Predicting which Eagles' tight ends will make the final 53-man roster following minicamp
Predicting which Eagles' tight ends will make the final 53-man roster following minicamp With Philadelphia completing OTAs and mandatory mini-camp, w'ere predicting which tight ends will make the final Eagles' 53-man roster The Eagles are the reigning Super Bowl champions, and as we approach the 2025 NFL season, this roster will look dramatically different after suffering several free-agent losses. During the first wave of free agency, Philadelphia saw Josh Sweat (Cardinals), Milton Williams (Patriots), Kenneth Gainwell (Steelers), Mekhi Becton (Chargers), Isaiah Rodgers (Vikings), Fred Johnson (Jaguars), Parris Campbell (Cowboys), Darius Slay (CB) and Oren Burks (Bengals) all depart. Still, they rebounded to make several key signings, including A.J. Dillon (RB), Joshua Uche (LB), Adoree' Jackson (CB), Charley Hughlett (LS), Patrick Johnson (LB), Avery Williams (KR/PR), Kylen Granson (TE), and Azeez Ojulari (OLB) among others. Our projected 2025 depth chart series continues with the tight end position. You can find our past position breakdowns at the links below: Quarterback, Running Back, Wide Receiver TE1 - Dallas Goedert Goedert is back on a restructured deal, and it wasn't a rough decision after the veteran (team-record 52 career playoff catches) led the Eagles in receptions (17) and receiving yards (215) in the postseason. TE2- Grant Calcaterra Playing in relief of an injured Dallas Goedert, Calcaterra logged 24 receptions for 298 yards and one touchdown. He was targeted 30 times and put up 19.9 yards per game. Best of the rest Practice squad numbers and game day elevations make it easy for Philadelphia to get creative with its 53-man roster. The Eagles carried two tight ends last season, and with Jeffrey Lurie looking to incorporate fullback Ben VanSumeren, the team is expected to take this approach in 2025. There are seven tight ends on the roster, with Nick Muse and E.J. Henderson among the players battling for a spot after the team signed Kylen Granson and Harrison Bryant. Jenkins was promoted to Philadelphia's active roster in 2024 and saw action in 12 games (eight in the regular season and four in the postseason). Playing primarily on special teams, he caught one pass on the season – a 7-yard touchdown versus the New York Giants on Jan. 5.
