Jalen Hurts Stands with NFL Legends: A Super Bowl Champion's Moment

There's a certain validation that comes from standing alongside the greatest to ever do it. At Super Bowl 60, Jalen Hurts earned that moment — walking out with Tom Brady, Joe Montana, Peyton Manning, and the other Super Bowl MVPs in NFL history.

Say what you want about the Eagles' disappointing 2025 season. Question his decision-making in certain games. Criticize the offense when it sputtered. But Jalen Hurts has accomplished something remarkable in Philadelphia — and the receipts don't lie.

Two Super Bowl appearances. One championship. And across those two biggest games of his career? Only 16 incomplete passes. That's not a quarterback who shrinks on the biggest stage. That's a quarterback who delivers.

The Numbers Don't Lie

Hurts became the first quarterback in NFL history to throw for 300 yards and rush for 70 in a Super Bowl — and he did it as a third-year player. His Super Bowl 57 performance against the Chiefs was historic, even in defeat. His Super Bowl 59 win cemented his legacy.

When the chips are down and the lights are brightest, Hurts has consistently shown up. The same can't be said for plenty of quarterbacks with bigger names and longer resumes.

Perspective Matters

It's easy to get stuck in the negativity of a down season. The Eagles had real problems this year, and Hurts wasn't immune from criticism. But stepping back and looking at the full picture — this is a 26-year-old quarterback who has already won a Super Bowl and been to two of them.

How many franchises would kill for that? How many quarterbacks never even sniff a championship game?

Watching Hurts walk out alongside the greatest quarterbacks in Super Bowl history was a reminder: this guy belongs. Whatever adjustments need to happen in Philadelphia, whatever changes come to the roster or coaching staff, the Eagles have their quarterback.
