Jalen Hurts has been having an extraordinary season. The Philadelphia Eagles quarterback has led the team to 7 straight victories, with no loss. From the very start of the season, Hurts has been exceptional on the field. The 24-year-old has proved that he’s definitely on top of the list of players to watch out for.

The quarterback opened up about his love for the game while speaking to Peyton and Eli Manning of the ManningCast. In the conversation, Hurts surprisingly mentioned Tom Brady’s name.

What did Jalen Hurts learn from the GOAT?

Hurts stated that he has studied the seven-time Super Bowl champion, Tom Brady. The Eagles quarterback expressed his admiration for Brady’s consistency. He said, “I think he’s so great at what he does because he’s so consistent and he’s been able to maintain that for a long time, and I’ve mentioned that consistency could breed eliteness, and I think with him, that’s him.”

Hurts also stated that he has a lot of respect for Tom Brady based on what he’s done and how he sees the game. The quarterback emphasized his love for the game. He stated that he likes watching football and is “obsessed” with the game. Hurts mentioned the importance of knowledge and taking steps towards his growth. Hurts and the Eagles will hope to extend their winning streak when they face the Houston Texans in their upcoming bout.

Tom Brady’s not-so-consistent season

Jalen Hurts has led by example this season. Unfortunately, the quarterback he admires is not having the same fortune. Tom Brady’s season has been far from exceptional.

The Eagles and the Buccaneers are two opposites on the performance spectrum this season. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have suffered back-to-back losses. They currently stand at 3-5, trailing the Falcons in the NFC South. Brady’s subpar performance this season has been a cause for concern. The Bucs’ offensive line-up has not been up to the mark either.

While Jalen Hurts learns from Tom Brady, the latter hasn’t put up a performance in the recent past that reminds the NFL world of his legendary career and achievements. The Buccaneers will hope to turn this season around. And perhaps, the GOAT will remind fans of the reason why other players take lessons from him.
