Philadelphia Eagles star Jalen Hurts is wealthier following penning a five-year, $255million (£204.2m) deal last week, making him the highest paid quarterback in the NFL.
But Hurts, who’s guaranteed $179.3m £143.6m), says his mentality remains undeterred despite his riches. “Money is nice, championships are better,” he said on Monday while donning a dapper green suit and matching tie.
“It’s an exciting moment,” Hurts added. “But I think I’ve set the precedent for what it is that I desire. I can’t help but keep the main thing the main thing in what I set out to do and what this organisation sets out to do. Be the best version of myself and that hasn’t changed.”
