Jalen Hurts spent some time reflecting back on his ‘unprecedented journey’ to a Super Bowl victory on Sunday.

Hurts has gone from being benched at the halftime of a National Championship game to being the Super Bowl MVP.

The Texas native looks back at his journey to this point as a lesson.

“Sometimes you have to accept that you have to wait your turn…I’m that same kid that went to the National Championship and lost and went back and got benched and had to transfer and had to go through this just unprecedented journey,” Hurts said.
