It's year six for Jalen Hurts. He's a lot richer than when we first met him. He's older. He's wiser. He still has his supporters and his doubters, but he has beaten Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, and Matthew Stafford. Think about that.

When it comes to Philadelphia Eagles pride, Gillie is the biggest champion of the team. Recently he made that crystal clear to NFL MVP Cam Newton, when the athlete-turned-podcaster compared his own football career to the two-time Super Bowl quarterback, Jalen Hurts.

Ahead of the 2025 season, analyst Chris Broussard stated why he thinks Jalen Hurts will be viewed in a similar light as Terry Bradshaw when it's said and done.

We've heard comparisons involving Jalen Hurts and Tom Brady. We've seen Philly's star quarterback hang out with Michael Jordan on more than one occasion. Recently, Cam Newton threw a few darts at him. That was a little surprising, but we are used to hearing his name tossed around on FS1 daily.

That’s not just lip service. Matthews has caught passes from his share of signal-callers including but not limited to – Carson Wentz, Ryan Tannehill, and Jimmy Garoppolo. He also played alongside Hurts during the quarterback’s rookie season in 2020. What stood out wasn’t just the talent. It was the mentality.

The NFL world erupted in controversy this week after former MVP Cam Newton left Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts off his top-10 quarterback rankings, prompting a fiery response from Eagles legend Terrell Owens that has since gone viral across social media.

Jalen Hurts was named the Super Bowl MVP after the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Kansas City Chiefs to win the Lombardi Trophy. Buffalo Bills' Josh Allen was the MVP for the 2024 regular season.
