The Philadelphia Eagles will be the team to beat after they comfortably won the Super Bowl last season, and they'll be looking to do the same this season. Jalen Hurts was a big reason for the win, and he won Super Bowl MVP for his performance. All season, Hurts was poised and stayed calm through adversity, and you can tell by how he talks that nothing can bother him, regardless of the moment.
Hurts recently dropped another impressive quote when asked about the Eagles' Super Bowl win, and he's looking ahead instead of backwards.
“Nothing that I've accomplished in the past will get me what I desire in the future,” Hurts said.
What Hurts said was true because this will be a new season that will have its own set of new challenges, and the Eagles can't use their Super Bowl win to help them get through it. The one thing that will help them is that they have almost the same team from last season, and the chemistry will help them get through rough times in the year.
Hurts will be the calming force for the Eagles, and if he can continue to play at a high level, there's no reason why they won't be in the race to win back-to-back championships.
Jalen Hurts is keeping a level head for Eagles
There's no doubt that Hurts is about his business, and he shows it in his personality and how he goes about every game. When the Eagles were given their Super Bowl rings, he didn't put his on for one reason, according to Eagles reporter Eliot Shorr-Parks.
“Jalen Hurts says he didn’t put the Super Bowl ring on because he has moved on to next year,” Shorr-Parks reported.
Nonetheless, Hurts was still proud of the moment, according to CBS News' Tom Dougherty.
“Almost not nostalgic, but to see something that you've earned, have a moment to appreciate that one last time,” Hurts said. “Kind of overdue in terms of what it was supposed to be initially, but it was a moment and that moment's behind us.”
Hurts and the Eagles are getting prepared for next season, and they still have one of the best teams in the league to get back to the Super Bowl. The difference now is that they will be the hunted, and every team is primed to give them their best shot every week they face the defending champs.
