PHOENIX — Before the start of the Eagles’ season, Michael Vick offered Jalen Hurts a piece of advice.
The former Eagles quarterback wanted Hurts to draw on his experiences before his third season began. He wanted Hurts to feel the freedom that Vick believed he was never quite afforded as a mobile quarterback.
“Just to be himself and play his game,” Vick remembers telling Hurts. “Don’t waver. Don’t buy into what’s being said or what people might be saying on TV or how they might view you as a quarterback. How you grow in this game is predicated on how much time you put into it.”
