Philadelphia Eagles Quarterback Jalen Hurts is one of the best in the entire league. Apart from his career stats including two Super Bowl appearances, the 26-year-old is renowned for being fine-looking. In a recent interaction, Hurts unintentionally roasted a reporter over his appearance.
Ahead of the Super Bowl 59, Jalen Hurts sat on the opening day of the event on Monday. While the field might still instill a fearsome atmosphere, the media interactions hold the same hilarious ambiance. Such as, when one of the reporters asked Hurts for tips to improve his countenance adding that his girlfriend considered the QB as the most handsome in the league.
The question led the Eagles star to respond with helplessness, calling it a concern of genes. The exchange immediately took over the internet, giving the users a good laugh. Jalen, how can I get more handsome? My girlfriend says you’re the most handsome QB in the league, was what the journalist had asked.
The users sent the hysterical clip rolling viral on platform X. The fans, while lauding Jalen Hurts’ honesty, felt the emotions of the journalist. Nonetheless, the audience welcomed any distraction from the regular questions of previous Super Bowls and losses. This doesn’t reduce any excitement the fans have for a potential comeback for the Philadelphia Eagles. The team will be aiming for the Lombardi Trophy for the second time in three seasons.
