Despite his remarkable achievements, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts remains somewhat overlooked in NFL conversations.
Head coach Nick Sirianni has advocated for more recognition of his quarterback’s accomplishments, and rightfully so.
While the spotlight shines on Patrick Mahomes’ fifth Super Bowl appearance before turning 30 and Jayden Daniels’ impressive rookie season, Hurts has quietly guided his team to two Super Bowl appearances in just four years as a starter—an achievement that warrants greater acknowledgment.
The media’s approach to Hurts’ Super Bowl experience often leans toward the negative, as evidenced by a recent press interaction.
When asked about his most vivid memory from the Eagles’ Super Bowl LVII defeat, the 26-year-old quarterback’s response was characteristically succinct.
“Next question,” Hurts stated.
“What’s your most vivid memory of that Super Bowl?” – Reporter
“Next question.” – Jalen Hurts
Hurts saying “here we go” before answering the next question is pretty funny too. 😅

Sensing the shift in atmosphere, the reporter adjusted course, inquiring about lessons Hurts could apply from his previous Super Bowl experience to Super Bowl LIX.
His response revealed a mature perspective on the upcoming challenge.
He emphasized the importance of understanding everything that accompanies Super Bowl week, particularly his role in mentoring teammates who haven’t experienced the event before.
Hurts stressed the need to help them feel connected and prepared, while maintaining focus on the ultimate goal—this is, after all, a business trip and an opportunity they’ve worked hard to secure.
The Philadelphia Eagles are set to face the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX this February, a rematch of their Super Bowl LVII contest.
This return to the championship stage further cements Hurts’ growing legacy, even if it sometimes goes underappreciated in broader NFL discussions.
