Or chosen to stay, be humble, be a team player and support your team, and use the rest of that season to grow as an athlete and as a person. In a previous article I’ve written called Jalen Hurts: An Alabama Legend, I go on to explain how Jalen Hurts ultimately had two choices after being replaced by Tagovailoa, after putting up impressive numbers and going 26-2 as a starter. It’s what happened in 2018, that truly defined Jalen Hurts. When you take a moment to realize that in 2 seasons, Hurts had a combined total of 4,861 yards passing, 1,809 yards rushing, 40 TDs, 10 INT, and 21 rushing touchdowns, it’s mind blowing.īut, it’s not the stats that made him a legend.
