Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts held a press conference with an audience that differed from the usual media presence. This time, Hurts answered questions from the Eagles Kids Club, consisting of fans aged 5-12 years old. The Eagles Kids Club, presented by ACME and Rita's, offers members access to exclusive contests and merchandise, invitations to special events, engagement opportunities with players, and more.
Here are some notable responses from the Q&A session:
Why did you want to be a football player?
"It's a great question. I wanted to be a football player because I was always around it. Sometimes you become what you're exposed to and I was exposed to the game at a very early age. It was fun and I grew to have a great love for it. So, here I am still playing."
How old were you when you scored your first touchdown?
"How old was I when I scored? The first one was a kind of deep ball. I was a receiver. Literally, I was in the fourth grade, and I was 8. I was 8 years old, first touchdown. It was amazing because I'd always think back to like playing the video games and just having this vision of myself getting in the end zone, and that was my first time experiencing it. It's bringing back memories."
How many times did you do a press conference?
"I do it all the time and it kind of comes with it, and it's fun and I know you guys are able to see me through this way. I do it all the time after every game, and then I do it once in the middle of a practice week. So twice a week."
What is your favorite game-time moment?
"During the game, I enjoy when they play the scene from Rocky and I run and pump up the crowd. Just a great moment for me."
