Jalen Hurts made history yesterday becoming the highest-paid player in NFL history. Hurts earned 255 million for 5 years, 179 million of which is guaranteed. Drafting Jalen Hurts was a great decision by Philly. The team is well-equipped and has much room to grow for the next 5 years. There’s no question Hurts has silenced all the doubters since his final year at Alabama. This talented quarterback has demonstrated perseverance since his debut in professional football. This time last year, Hurts was a questionable quarterback. Many reporters such as Stephen A. Smith and Shannon Sharpe didn’t have high hopes for him during his first season and assumed he would only be mediocre. I watched a segment on First Take where Stephen A. Smith’s opening statement was, “The fact that Jalen Hurts got this contract, it’s news, congratulations.

He’s earned it, not just because of his exceptional play on the field, but his leadership as well.” Despite my opinion of Smith, I’m glad he’s willing to swallow his pride from time to time when it actually matters. After insulting his potential as an athlete, there’s no doubt he did what he did to the very end of the season only coming up one game short in the Super Bowl.
