Jalen Hurts on Draft Night Surprise, Mahomes, MVP & More | New Heights w/ Jason & Travis Kelce EP 11

On the eleventh episode of New Heights, we have our first in-person sit-down interview with the #1 quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles, Jalen Hurts. Jalen is currently having an MVP-caliber season so it’s really exciting to be able to share this conversation with everyone. In this episode, Jason and Travis get an answer to maybe the most important New Heights question, what’s Jalen calling on 4th & 1. We also touch on his first impressions of being under center behind Jason Kelce, the backstory to the squat video everyone can’t stop talking about, why he hopes Jason keeps playing for at least a few more years, and his surprising reaction to hearing his name called by the Eagles on Draft Night. The guys also chop it up about the philosophy of playing quarterback, figure out Jalen’s QB Mt. Rushmore, dive into Jalen’s special relationship with the Manning family, find out how he really feels about the MVP conversation, and debate the right way for NFL players to watch football games. We also have some incredible stories of Jalen’s time at Alabama and how that prepared him for playing in front of Philly fans, his plans to teach Jason the griddy, and our first-ever guest New Heights Stamp of the Week.
