As the 2025 NFL season wraps up, Philadelphia Eagles fans might be feeling a bit short of their ultimate goal, but there's no shortage of belief in Jalen Hurts' ability to lead the team back to the Super Bowl stage. And perhaps the most significant endorsement comes from none other than Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie. At the NFL Annual League Meetings in Arizona, Lurie expressed his unwavering support for Hurts, though he remained tight-lipped about any future contract discussions.

Lurie didn't hold back his admiration, stating, "There's no bigger fan of Jalen than me. He's got that clutch gene.
Just look at his performance 13 months ago as the Super Bowl MVP. Even before that, against Kansas City, he was exceptional.
His dedication to the game and winning is unmatched."
Lurie's confidence isn't just lip service. He’s spent considerable time with Hurts, as he does with most quarterbacks, and is impressed by his commitment to winning. While contract talks remain behind closed doors, Lurie’s faith in Hurts is clear.
Hurts is a fascinating figure in the NFL landscape. Despite some polarizing opinions about his unique style, his track record speaks volumes.
With a 69.5% win rate in regular-season games, six playoff victories, and a Super Bowl MVP under his belt, Hurts has proven his mettle. Fans dream of him hitting those 4,000 passing yards and tacking on another 1,000 on the ground, but the real key is his ability to execute Sean Mannion's offense to its full potential.
If he can do that, the Eagles are well-positioned for another Super Bowl run before his current deal concludes.
