After a fairly successful season, Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles suffered a disappointing Super Bowl loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Even though Hurts played his heart out during the epic showdown, critics keep bringing up the loss and taking constant jabs at him.
In his relatively young career, Jalen Hurts has managed to muster up a number of relentless supporters, with some claiming him to be one of the top quarterbacks in the present NFL scene. One such name is none other than rap royalty Snoop Dogg, who believes Hurts to be one of the top three QBs out there.

2nd year as a starter and has his team one drive from winning the Super Bowl. Neither Allen nor Lamar has done that. Matter of fact, we have seen both not show up when the going gets tough. 🤐

Definitely not taking Burrow over Jalen , Burrow is overrated and will be exposed next year #RavensFlock

The long road ahead
One thing that has impressed fans even more than his talents would be the poise that Jalen Hurts at such a young age. Being on his rookie deal, Hurts is set for a payday in the near future, but that should not be his primary focus.
