Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley are the fuel that makes the Eagles‘ offensive engine run, and one veteran quarterback believes they are the duo the NFL never wanted to see come together. During a sit-down with Ryan Clark and the Pivot Podcast, Jameis Winston praised Philadelphia’s duo, stating they are “what the league never wanted to see.”
Hurts, crowned Super Bowl LIX MVP, became just the second QB in Eagles history to deliver a Super Bowl Championship to the City of Philadelphia, joining Nick Foles (Super Bowl LII MVP). According to Elias Sports, Hurts is only the seventh NFL QB to appear in multiple Super Bowls and win a championship in their first five seasons. The other QBs who did so are Troy Aikman, Tom Brady, Patrick Mahomes, Ben Roethlisberger, Kurt Warner, and Russell Wilson.
