Before Jalen Hurts came to Alabama to play for the Crimson Tide, his father, Averion Hurts, came to Alabama to play for the Birmingham Barracudas.

Hurts, who led the Philadelphia Eagles to a 40-22 trouncing of the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl 59, credits his father for playing a vital role in him winning the NFL title. Hurts’ dad, who coached him in football while Hurts was in high school, was on the field with him after the game where the two shared a long hug.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts' parents, Pamela and Averion Hurts, played a major role in the quarterback's success. Jalen reflected on the role his parents played in his life as the Eagles star prepared for the Super Bowl.
