Even before he was the 53rd-overall pick of the Philadelphia Eagles in 2020, there wasn’t a Birds fan on the planet who didn’t know who Jalen Hurts was. Sure, his game wasn’t perfect, but that’s why teams have coaches. He wasn’t totally polished, but he was just as good as a lot of those guys that NFL fans and pundits couldn’t stop talking about.
What has always made Jalen Hurts stand out is the way he carries himself. He’s a grown-up, so much so that there are times when you want the guy to crack a few more smiles and enjoy himself.
