Starting off strong with the NFC, the Eagles spoke with the media first and quarterback Jalen Hurts caught up with NFL Network’s Michael Irvin to answer some of the first questions of the evening, including how this year two Black starting quarterbacks for the first time in Super Bowl history as he squares off against Patrick Mahomes.
“Now, the first time for two to go head-to-head,” Hurts said. “That’s uplifting the next generation of quarterbacks. That four-year-old, five-year-old kid back in Houston, back in Philly, back in Texas, Louisiana, wherever across the world that regardless of what someone may say or have an opinion about you, you can do it. You can do it, too. There’s a platform here. I value the platform I have I’m sure like Pat does, as well. So, we just want to inspire the next people.”
