Jalen Hurts has faced a considerable share of his football career.
He overcame getting the bench at halftime of the championship game while he was in Alabama. He later transferred to Oklahoma, where he regained his starting role as a quarterback. The NFL team took over him in the first round of the 2020 draft, but the Philadelphia Eagles seized him with a chance in the second round.

He began his professional soccer career in Philadelphia as a backup. Even when he got the opportunity to become an NFL starter, many still questioned whether the wound had the tool to become a star. Hurts put all of these doubts to bed on Sunday when he was nominated for Super Bowl MVP after leading the Eagles to victory.
The Eagles win Super Bowl LIX and denies major history in a dominant way
Although Harts was not asked to do too much on a dominant defensive night for Philadelphia, he was evident in the greatest stages of football as the calm he has shown throughout his career was revealed. It went through almost every opportunity.

He finished the game with 221 yards and two touchdowns. He was also believed to have rushed a touchdown during the Chiefs' 40-22 victory, which revenged a Super Bowl loss against Kansas City two years ago.
Nevertheless, in the season since the loss of that Super Bowl, some critics still questioned whether the wounds were holding back the Eagles' offense.

Aside from early interceptions against the Chiefs, his first since Week 10 against the Dallas Cowboys was almost perfect for the Chiefs defense.
After the clock went to zero, it hurts after being reflected in his personal journey.
“God is good. He is greater than all the highs and lows. I personally think… I could only learn from it using every experience…good, bad, that's I use it all as a fuel, so I pursue my greatness, we couldn't learn from the past.
Hurts lost his first Super Bowl start and acquired one starter later in his career, joining Hall of Fames John Elway, Bob Grieze and Lendawson.
