PHILADELPHIA — Jalen Hurts knows a hard worker when he sees one.
Tony Santiago is the Eagles’ locker room custodian. He’s worked 12 hours a day, six days a week — seven during training camp — for the last 19 years at the NovaCare Complex. But he’s toiled in relative obscurity until Hurts name-checked him two weeks ago following the season finale.
Santiago’s phone buzzed almost immediately after the All-Pro quarterback, whose locker stall he cleans daily, mentioned him by his first name when he was asked what it would take for the Eagles to win the Super Bowl.
