Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni has paid his impressive young quarterback the highest compliment he could give after comparing him to Michael Jordan.
It's rare for athletes to be given the Jordan comparison, who is seen as arguably the greatest, winning athlete in United States sports history, but Siranni believes Hurts' gutsy performances this season is deserved of being mentioned in that category.
Hurts is currently playing through a severely hampered shoulder, injuring it in December, which happens to be his throwing arm. However, he did not look overly hampered - making a huge statement early on as he hit his receiver Devonta Smith for a deep pass and a 40-year completion.
