Ahead of playing in the biggest game of his career, Jalen Hurts calmly delivered a poignant message to any of his remaining critics while speaking to reporters on Thursday.
The Eagles star quarterback and MVP candidate took to the podium in Arizona for the latest round of media sessions ahead of facing the Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII on Sunday. When asked about wanting to prove his critics wrong, Hurts spoke on focusing on the process of getting better before dropping a great one-liner on his approach to the outside noise.
“I had a purpose before everybody had an opinion. It’s not about anybody else,” Hurts said. Seemingly impressed with his answer, the 24-year-old then told the crowd after a brief pause, “Y’all know y’all liked that one,” setting off a wave of laughter in the room.
