This offseason, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts signed an absolutely massive contract extension with the team that made him the highest-paid quarterback in the history of the league. But even though he just got paid, teammate A.J. Brown does not think it’s going to change him as a person.
During a press conference this week, Brown was asked his response to Hurts’ new contract, and he made it clear that he’s happy for his teammate and revealed that if anything, the payday has “just motivated him.”
“Just to be sitting beside him is a blessing,” Brown said. “Just talking to him about it, working with him on the side, and last season actually helping him achieve some of his goals — from a friend standpoint, it’s everything you can imagine. I’m so ecstatic for him. He deserves it. And I’m just excited for what the future holds for him.
“He’s a great guy, as y’all know. He’s still that hard worker. He’s still determined to be great. So, it definitely didn’t change him. It definitely just motivated him, if anything. So, that’s what you want.”
Hurts and Brown will now hope to bring the Eagles back to the Super Bowl again next season.
