As per USA Today the world is getting some more insight on what makes Jalen Hurts the ultimate professional in the NFL. During their Super Bowl match against the Kansas City Chiefs he and Saquon Barkley were both wearing wireless microphones. At the tail end of the game where it was clear that the Eagles would be victorious, cameras caught the two expressing their excitement. Here we see Jalen telling Saquon to his face that he was the key their success. “Hey, man, that’s you. That’s you. I know it’s all of us, but you don’t understand the difference you made. You know, we right there. But you like that last piece, man” Jalen says.
The University of Oklahoma alumni is referring to the 2023 season where they originally faced off against the Kansas City Chiefs at Super Bowl LVII but lost 38 – 35.
