Following an ESPN report detailing alleged frustrations within the Philadelphia Eagles regarding quarterback Jalen Hurts, former NFL star Robert Griffin III (RG3) came to Hurts' defense, calling the criticism 'unfair and excessive.' The report suggested tensions in the locker room, questioning Hurts' leadership and his willingness to adapt to offensive changes. Griffin emphasized Hurts' success as a winner, stating, 'Jalen Hurts is one of the most under-appreciated winners in the NFL and one of the most disrespected Super Bowl MVPs ever.' He argued that the constant shifting of expectations around Hurts is unreasonable, particularly given his performance under pressure in Philadelphia. Additionally, the report mentioned that while Hurts and wide receiver AJ Brown maintained professionalism throughout the season, their relationship suffered from a lack of communication, which may have contributed to internal issues within the team.
