Jalen Hurts, quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles, will lock horns against the Kansas City Chiefs in this year’s Super Bowl.

The Eagles picked Hurts in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft. The quarterback then said that buying a home in Philadelphia isn’t logical because he lives with his mom when he returns to Houston.

“When I was selected, I didn’t purchase a home or anything like that since it was just me. I would not need this large space for myself alone. I recently moved into a little home. Something pleasant that will serve me well for the time being, you know?” Jalen Hurts said.

He rushed for 1,391 yards and 25 touchdowns as a senior while also passing for 2,384 yards and 26 touchdowns. During his high school playing career, Hurts was a second-team all-district pick as a sophomore and was named the District 21-6A Overall MVP.

Besides football, Hurts also engaged in powerlifting. Hurts reached the regional finals in the 198-pound weight class while squatting 500 pounds of weight as a sophomore in high school.

Hurts was chosen by the Philadelphia Eagles with the 53rd overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. He was promoted to backup quarterback in Week 2 after being initially listed as Nate Sudfeld’s backup third-string quarterback, primarily so he could be used for quarterback running plays or as a decoy.
