Jalen Hurts Has Blunt Response to Question About Drake Maye

Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles took the field for a joint practice with Drake Maye and the New England Patriots.

Jalen Hurts, star quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles, fielded a question about offering advice to rookie Drake Maye as he prepares for his third professional season. The question specifically inquired about ways to maximize the potential of wide receiver A.J. Brown, who recently switched from the Eagles to the New England Patriots in a significant trade.

Hurts responded that he believes Maye has already achieved significant success and that he doesn't think his advice would alter that trajectory. He emphasized that Maye should continue his current path of growth and improvement, acknowledging his already impressive accomplishments in a brief span of time. Hurts went on to predict more outstanding achievements to come for Maye.

Both Hurts and Maye fell short in their respective Super Bowl appearances. However, Hurts bounced back in the 2024-25 season, while Maye will aim to replicate that success after their recent title-game loss to the Seattle Seahawks. The Eagles and Patriots are set to face each other in a preseason matchup at 7 p.m. ET on Saturday.
