Jalen Hurts Reportedly Turns Away From Peyton Manning to Train With His Biggest Rival

NFL franchise Philadelphia Eagles fans will be over the moon about reports surrounding quarterback Jalen Hurts and his efforts to develop his all-around game. Hurts has been picking the brain of Hall of Fame QBs in recent seasons and was recently hanging out with Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Tom Brady. While working with him will be helpful for Hurts, former mentor and Brady’s biggest rival Peyton Manning might not feel the same way.

Hurts has a lot of history with Manning going back to the days when he went to a Manning football camp for his sophomore season in high school. While he remains on good terms with the legendary Manning family, it was Peyton who did aid his evolution as an NFL QB.

The elder Manning brother is known for his keen eye for every detail and was helping Hurts work towards inculcating that mentality.

But Hurts seems to be moving to the next level with the legendary Buccaneers QB, who is in California and training before the start of training camp. The pair recently met each other during their NFC Wild Card game which did see Brady win over Hurts’ Eagles. Hurts was very young when Brady was defeating the Eagles teams of the past. But will now get an inside look into his elite winning mentality.
