Jalen Hurts may not be recognized as one of the top-10 quarterbacks in the NFL on any given list. He'll have to settle for being a Super Bowl MVP and reigning champion. The Philadelphia Eagles quarterback has a constant reminder of his fantastic performance against the Kansas City Chiefs earlier this year in the form of a rather remarkable ring.
"I've moved on," Hurts told reporters Wednesday at Eagles training camp. "Moved on to the new year."
Jalen Hurts on receiving his ring: “It was surreal to see it in person. Almost nostalgic, to see something that you’ve earned. To see something one last time. Kind of overdue in terms of when it was supposed to be initially. It was a moment, but that moment is behind us.” pic.twitter.com/mcTE3uQHfe

FS1's First Things First took notice of the comments and parlayed them into a segment on their show, where Chris Broussard took the opportunity to lavish praise on Hurts for not ever slipping that bad boy onto his finger.
"I don't like it," Broussard said. "I love it. I love it. That's a leader."
What’s @Chris_Broussard’s reaction to Jalen Hurts not wearing his Super Bowl ring?

"I put my ring on when I retire," he continued. "I'm going after another ring. The ring is for collection on my trophy case. It's for you guys on TV to say 'he's got four rings.' It's not for me to wear around as I'm playing."
Broussard is correct. It would be very silly to wear the hardware while taking snaps from center. Imagine a Tush Push being derailed due to a fumbled snap or something. The injury risk is also off the charts.
His co-hosts, Nick Wright and Kevin Wildes, tried to engage him by questioning if other Super Bowl-winning quarterbacks who do wear their rings from time to time are leaders or if other Eagles who put theirs on aren't locked in but it was no use. Broussard was rolling.
