Alabama football fans have a fondness for Jalen Hurts. So do Oklahoma Sooners’ fans. The young man accomplished much in his college career. Playing in different schemes for two top teams showcased Jalen’s considerable talents.
Perhaps never before has a player, having finished No. 2 in the Heisman Trophy voting, garnered so little attention from NFL teams. Much of the post-Super Bowl chatter about future NFL quarterbacks has been about Joe Burrow, Tua Tagovailoa and Justin Herbert. When a fourth quarterback has been mentioned, most often it has been Jordan Love.
Jalen Hurts, the recipient of so much love from fans, has rarely been seen as a future, elite NFL QB.
