#Eagles QB Jalen Hurts addressed the A.J. Brown trade, the ESPN story from April about him, his contract and other topics today:
On the A.J. Brown trade and Brown saying they weren’t as close, but that he wishes him all the best:
“I’m not in the place to challenge anyone’s perspective on anything, seemingly so, it was. That’s where I am. I’ve always been focused on the collective. I’ve always put my energy towards that. As a leader, I’ve always put an onus on giving maximum effort to achieve the shared mission we have on the team.”
Any disappointment with how it ended for A.J. with the Eagles:
“You come into it and you have a sense of pride with how it began, and definitely what we were able to accomplish. … Nothing can take that away. For the great things that we did, now it’s time to focus on achieving great things with this iteration of the team.”
On the ESPN story that characterized Hurts as being resistant to change, among other things:
“I’ve never really asked for an opportunity to respond to anything. So just let it live and go do my job.”:
On if he asked for the “four verticals” last play of the season, as reported in the ESPN story:
“Nah. No.”
On his being resistant to change:
“I’m always open to growth. I’m always open to improving. I think a lot of it is what do we put our time on task? What are we exhausting? What are we repping. And so, I’m looking forward to seeing how training camp goes so we can just continue to build on the foundation that we’re beginning to lay down.”
On his contract and if there is a restructure coming:
“For me, I’m truly focused on being the best I can be right now. That’s where my energy is. There’s a lot of change as is. I’m focused on this offense. I’m focused on building with Sean [Mannion] and being my best.”
Jalen Hurts says he will not challenge what AJ Brown said with AJ’s opinion that their relationship had changed and that they are not as close as they were
Jalen says he has a sense of pride about how it began with AJ here in Philly and nothing can take away the success they had together.
Now Jalen says he wants to do great things with the new iteration of the Eagles.
@lord_brunson This exactly why JB the cowboy fan, fifth quarter sports, and mbreezey be roasting these dallas content creators on youtube. BTW they are dallas fans. They said they wish they had Hurts as QB. Would suggest you guys watch their content!!!!!!!!
AJ Brown is 1 of 2 NFL players to achieve this stat..
Players who have had 1000+ Receiving Yards & 7+ Touchdowns in each of their last 4 seasons:
-AJ Brown (Patriots)
-Jamar Chase (Bengals)
Don’t let people fool you on AJ Browns consistency 📈
#patriots
@patsfocuss Before the trade every Pats fan was, “wait until he has a real QB” and now every day all I see is AJ’s elite stats/advanced metrics being listed with said bad QB lmao what a world
