He led the Crimson Tide to two consecutive national championship games in his freshman and sophomore seasons but was replaced in the 2018 championship game by Tua Tagovailoa.
After graduating from Alabama, Hurts transferred to Oklahoma for his senior year in 2019. He had a successful season with the Sooners, throwing for 3,851 yards, 32 touchdowns, and eight interceptions, and rushing for 1,298 yards and 20 touchdowns.

What are NFL fans saying about the Jalen Hurts contract?
The Eagles believed in Hurts, constructed a squad of DAWGs to help him & the team elevate & then rewarded him for his production & leadership.
So happy for him. People forgot that after he was benched for Tua, people thought he would never get drafted let alone play in the NFL.
