Jalen Hurts faced quite a few skeptics in his football career.
In Alabama, he overcame the bench at the championship half. He later moved to Oklahoma, where he regained the role of quarterback. The NFL team passed the ball in the first round of the 2020 draft, but the Philadelphia Eagles seized his chance in the second round.

He began his professional football career in Philadelphia as a substitute. Even if he does have the chance to be an NFL starter, many still question whether the Hurts have the tools to become a star. Pain made all of these questions when he led the Hawks to a victory when he was appointed Super Bowl MVP on Sunday.
The Hawks Win Super Bowl Lix, Denied Chiefs’ History in Dominant Way
While Harts didn’t ask for too much in a dominant defensive night in Philadelphia, he went through almost every opportunity when he needed it, as the calm he showed throughout his career was the biggest in football It’s obvious on the stage.

He finished the game with 221 yards and two touchdowns. He was also credited with a running touchdown in a 40-22 victory over the Chiefs who lost the Super Bowl against Kansas City two years ago.
Still, in the season since the Super Bowl loss, some critics have questioned whether the damage has stopped the Hawks’ offense.

Apart from the early interceptions against the Chiefs (his first interception since Week 10 of the Dallas Cowboys) were almost flawless in defense against the Chiefs.
A moment after the clock, his personal journey reflected the pain.
“God is good. He is bigger than all the highs and lows. I personally think… myself I am just able to use all the experience and learn from it… good, bad, all… used as fuel in pursuit of myself Great, I can’t make a special group with the people around me.
Now, Hurts is just his fourth quarterback of all time, losing his first Super Bowl game and winning one as a starter late in his career, joining Hall of Fame member John John Elway, Bob Griese and Len Dawson.
