Jalen Hurts says he's still the same guy after winning Super Bowl MVP

After leading the Philadelphia Eagles to a Super Bowl, Jalen Hurts says it won't change who he is as a person. Hurts says he's still the same guy that he was at Alabama when he was benched in the national championship as he won't let the success get in his way of being a good human being.

“I’ll always be the same guy,” Hurts said. “I was telling someone that I’m the same kid that came to a national championship and lost, went back and got benched and had to transfer and had to go through this unprecedented journey. That kid always kept the main thing the main thing and always was true to his vision of what he saw. It all began with greater leadership and doing it the right way.”

Jalen Hurts played his college football at Alabama and Oklahoma.
