From relatively humble beginnings, Jalen Hurts’s football career has played out like something from a Hollywood script. So it makes sense that, after Hurts signed a five-year, $255 million contract with the Eagles on Monday to make him the league’s highest-paid player, he’s now getting the Hollywood treatment.
Well, sort of.
There’s no known script in the works about Hurts’s rise to football stardom quite yet, but that’s not stopping former quarterback-turned-ESPN analyst Robert Griffin III from playing the role of casting director. Following news of Hurts’s new deal with Philadelphia, Griffin lobbied for a movie to be made about the 24-year-old quarterback’s life, revealing who he’d like to see play other key figures in Hurts’s story.
