Jalen Hurts. The man, the myth and the inspiration.

The University of Alabama has adopted the slogan “Where Legends Are Made” and Alabama football has produced its fair share of legends. From Julio Jones to Joe Namath, the Crimson Tide has produced legendary players, who have place their stamp on the sport of football. However, the latest addition to this legend’s club did not only get this status for his on the field talents, but for his off the field moments.

The story that has surrounded Jalen Hurts since Jan. 8, 2018 was the fact that he was replaced in the fourth quarter of the 2018 National Championship game by his backup, Tua Tagovailoa, who went on to lead the Crimson Tide to a comeback win and their 17th National Championship.
