Nick Wright Cements Jalen hurts between top 5 QBs in NFL
In a recent segment on his podcast: “What is Wright? With Nick Wright,” the FS1 analyst shared a story about how Hurts’ mother, Pamela Hurts, Wright asked why he always criticizes her son.
“Saturday evening, the Klutch Sports Party of Draftkings in Brennan’s in New Orleans, this woman comes to me and says:” I would like to ask you a question, why do you talk so badly about Jalen Hurts? “I had something like:” Well, I don’t know that is honest, “she had something like:” Yes, that’s it.
Wright said that he does not consider himself a Hurts Hater, but pointed out how the double Pro Bowler did not build on his sensational performance in the Super Bowl two years ago. He emphasized how the woman who approached him was still not convinced and Wright eventually realized that she was the mother of Hurts.
“She is still like not really having and then I realized something that I should have realized much earlier in the conversation. And I said,” Madam, can I ask you a question, are you Jalen Pain, Mother? ” And she said, “Yes, that’s me.” “
“She clearly just thinks I am wrong, that is what a mother should think,” Wright continued. “She says,” What are you going to say if he wins? ” I had something like: “Well, if he”, and for that she goes, “not if he wins.” So, what I will say, hurts now earn it as one of the five best quarterbacks.
Now that Hurts has won a super bowl, Wright has cemented the Eagles star under the top five quarterbacks in the competition. He emphasized the fact that winning a super bowl matters a lot, especially when the team did not wear the quarterback.
Wright also said that Hurts has now played exceptionally in two super bowls, together with his excellent performances in the NFC Championship match against the Washington Commanders. The Super Bowl Lix MVP has completely surpassed Patrick Mahomes on the largest stage and he deserves to be recognized from the best players in the competition.
Hurts completed 77.27% of his throws in the Super Bowl for 221 Yards, two touchdowns and a interception with a passer -rating of 119.7. He was also the leading Rusher in the Super Bowl with 11 wears for 72 yards and a touchdown.
