Jalen Hurts is 24-2, yet is still criticized as Alabama's weak link
If it's true you should dress for the job you want, not the one you already have, Jalen Hurts would wear a monk's robe instead of the jersey of Alabama's starting quarterback. The perpetually stoic sophomore gives the impression that he would rather take a vow of silence than answer questions about his football ability.
Hurts isn't interested in playing the role of the superstar athlete. He's his father's child, living out longtime Texas high school football coach Averion Hurts' motto: "I ain't gonna laugh if it isn't funny. I ain't gonna dance if there ain't no music."
