With the NFL world focused on the ongoing draft of who could be the league's next stars, one final box must be checked to complete the 2024 season.
The Philadelphia Eagles are scheduled to visit the White House on April 28, to commemorate the franchise's incredible season that saw them win their second Super Bowl in franchise history. The 40-22 victory for the Eagles also ended the Kansas City Chiefs' chance at becoming the first franchise to ever win three consecutive Super Bowls.
While the Eagles accepted their invitation to the White House, it is unclear if star quarterback and Super Bowl LIX MVP, Jalen Hurts, will be in attendance. When asked by Time if he would be making the trip, Hurts declined to answer as he smirked and looked around until the reporter ended the interview.
The visit is not mandatory by any means, and he wouldn't be the first player to pass on attending. In fact, when the Eagles won the Super Bowl in 2018, President Donald Trump canceled their visit after it was revealed that many players and staff decided not to attend.
A decision that came in the wake of disagreement over the national anthem debate at the time.
Trump made history during this year's Super Bowl, becoming the first sitting U.S. president to attend the big game.
Although Trump picked the Chiefs to win, he was treated to a masterclass from Hurts. The former Alabama and Oklahoma quarterback threw for 221 yards and two touchdowns, while also rushing for 72 yards and a score.
In terms of whether or not he will be at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue on Monday, only time will tell.
