For the Philadelphia Eagles, Jalen Hurts is their QB, who can take them to a Super Bowl championship. Ever since being drafted by the team as a second-round pick in the 2020 Draft, he is now considered one of the best QBs to play in the league. Hurts also recently signed a new five-year $255 million deal with the Eagles that made him the highest-paid QB in NFL history momentarily.
While fans may be expecting great things from the 24-year-old in the coming season, he still continues to fulfill his own personal goals in life. In fact, he has added another personal accomplishment to his professional life. And this has built a different breed of respect for him from the Eagles fanbase.

Celebrations continue for Jalen Hurts and his family. And this time, the family is not celebrating his achievements in the NFL. It is rather, in fact, a celebration that is more academic in nature. Even if the 24-year-old is set for life financially with his new contract, this has not stopped Hurts from pursuing his education further. And he recently finished his master’s degree too.
