Jalen Hurts discusses his accomplishments and looks ahead to the future.
"Nothing that I've accomplished in the past, will get me what I desire in the future."@Eagles QB @JalenHurts on his mindset and cracking a BIG 😄 after winning the Super Bowl.📻 | @BruceMurrayNFL | @TorreySmithWR
Jalen Hurts' psyche has been discussed so often that it's almost becoming a challenge to find new angles. Who cares? Stories about his journey from the Alabama Crimson Tide to the Oklahoma Sooners never get old. Neither do tales of the shock of seeing him drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in the second round.
It's a story that includes Tua Tagovailoa, a carousel of offensive coordinators, and a few endorsements. He helped birth a 'quarterback factory'. He eventually took over as the full-time starter.
We can officially state that the decision worked out nicely for Philadelphia. He appeared in two Super Bowls and won one before his 27th birthday. Oh, and by the way, he was named the game's MVP the second time around.
Jalen Hurts offers a masterclass on balancing past success with future goals.
SiriusXM NFL Radio visits every NFL training camp every summer. A visit to the City of Brotherly Love yielded a sit-down with Hurts.
Who knew? Jalen Hurts cracked a smile that quickly followed a game. We're teasing, of course. It's good to see someone so driven take the time to celebrate his accomplishments.
Hurts will continue to be his harshest critic. He'll keep on 'keeping the main thing the main thing' because, remember, he had a purpose before anyone else formulated an opinion.
A Second-Team All-Pro in 2022, he has found his way onto two Pro Bowl rosters. He celebrated his 27th birthday on August 7. Rarely have we seen this level of maturity from someone so young. Talk about a breath of fresh air. Talk about class. P
