It amazes me how much leadership this dude has and what a team-first mentality he has and you remember he just turned 25 a couple months ago!
The maturity on him is crazy.
I know nobody takes it for granted either. It’s just crazy to me that I have to remind myself he’s only 25.
And he’s statistically the best pocket passer in the league since week 1 2022, dude leads in literally every passing stat there is from the pocket. He’s already so far above what most thought he could be as a passer, and he’s only going to get better. His arm talent is so slept on, he has a top 5 arm and has more touch on the ball than the rest of the top 5. Went from, “he can’t throw” to the best pocket passer and best deep ball in the league within 1 year, it’s incredible. This man is going to have us contending for the next 10-15 years, his game will age beautifully because he’s more than shown he doesn’t need to run to be elite, and his clutch gene is obviously top notch
To add to this he is insanely clutch. Like almost anytime u need a big play the dude delivers. Even in the superbowl dude showed up everytime they called his number. Only 3 qbs have that “elite” trait where they just pull wins out of their ass like goku in dbz 😂😂. Mahomes, burrow, & Hurts bout to be running the league for a while
Jalen Hurts is such an old soul and I love it. Check out the playlist he made with Apple Music (or Spotify?). My dude had nothing but Anita, Isley Brothers, and Teddy Pendergrass and the oldies on there, and not just the popular oldies, these are the “yo grandmama’s the baby” oldies.
Just doing a stroll through other team subs and the general consensus is that Jalen’s the Top MVP candidate right now. He was the top candidate at this point last year too.
You know you’re a great leader when the old veterans are following you. I believe it was Kelce himself who spiritually handed the locker room to Hurts last year. Then you look at how guys like Graham and Fletch buy into every word Hurts says.
I didn’t think he’d break his scramble “happy feet” habits- I am so very glad to have been 100% wrong
