Eagles’ QB Jalen Hurts gets a custom backpack made as a tribute to a superfan

Jalen Hurts has been through so much since he arrived and departed Tuscaloosa, Alabama, with his trials and tribulations having helped form a self-awareness that’ll carry him to the mountain top in his career.

Hurts is one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet and he’ll jump through hoops to make a young person feel special. Take proud mom Nikki, whose son Alexander is such a huge fan of the Eagles star, that he had Hurts named placed on a custom backpack at the end of July.

Hoping to reciprocate the love and the gesture, Hurts got a backpack similar to young Alexander’s and had it custom built with the young man’s name on it as well.

Whether it’s with the Eagles or elsewhere, expect the rookie signal-caller to leave a lasting impression everywhere he travels on his unique journey.
