Jalen Hurts pays homage to Nick Saban for instilling relationship values during his time for Alabama

Jalen Hurts is having a successful training camp for the Philadelphia Eagles ahead of his third season.

As the starting quarterback, he has chemistry with A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, Quez Watkins, and other receiving options.

Philadelphia has a belief that Hurts is the signal-caller for them. He learned a lot about football from watching his father, Averion Hurts Sr., and brother, but Jalen decided to pay homage to his college head coach. Hurts discussed a few things in Wednesday’s presser he learned from Nick Saban at Alabama. He played for the Crimson Tide from 2016 to 2018, helping the program to two Southeastern Conference Championships (2016, 2018) and a College Football Playoff National Championship in 2017.
