Where does Jalen Hurts live?

Jalen Hurts accepted a four-year, $6.025 million deal when the Philadelphia Eagles picked him in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft. The deal includes a $1.942 million signup offer and a $610,000 salary for his rookie season.

Hurts claimed that buying a home in Philadelphia isn't logical because he lives with his mom when he returns to Houston:

"When I was selected, I didn't purchase a home or anything like that since it was just me. I would not need this large space for myself alone. I recently moved into a little home. Something pleasant that will serve me well for the time being, you know?"

Jalen Hurts chose to stay at his mother's home rather than lease a place in Philadelphia.

He currently lives in Houston, Texas. He considers the area his home, and despite his close ties to the City of Brotherly Love, he doesn't want to lose sight of his origins.

Houston has historically been regarded as one of the country's brightest, fastest-growing, and most varied cities. It has no ethnic majority - about a quarter of its population was born abroad and more than 145 tongues are spoken there.

Houston is widely termed as the Bayou City since it has several inner rivers like New Orleans. These bayous divide several of Houston's most affluent places and suburbs.
