PHILADELPHIA -- Sitting on the elegant stone steps in the Great Stair Hall at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Donovan McNabb, Michael Vick and Jalen Hurts gathered Tuesday for a conversation on their shared history as Eagles leaders and Black quarterbacks in the NFL.
McNabb, the eldest at age 45, recounted a conversation he had with a local media outlet shortly after Hurts was drafted in 2020 -- a surprise move by the Eagles given that quarterback Carson Wentz had recently signed a lucrative long-term extension.
"I said, 'Listen. What you're getting is a grown man in the room,'" McNabb said.
