Even though Jalen Hurts seems to have life figured out as the star quarterback of the Philadelphia Eagles, that doesn't mean he can't dream.
In the Eagles' 2025 media guide for NFL training camp, Hurts answered which sport and position he would play if he weren't a quarterback.
“I’d go team up with Bryce Harper and the Phillies and play shortstop or center field," Hurts said.
This isn't the first time Hurts has openly discussed playing baseball if he weren't so good at football.
He also did it last year during the offseason, where he revealed baseball was actually his first "love."
"Feel like I would have been really special at it if I would have continued to play, but I just let it go," Hurts said. "...I love baseball. It was my first love. But I let it go. I think I made the right decision."
Hurts was a two-sport athlete in high school, playing football and baseball at Channelview High School in Texas. He was a talented player and participated in the Under Armour All-American Baseball Game before hanging up his glove to focus on football in 10th grade.
It's obvious Hurts did not make a mistake sticking with the pigskin, and now he has a Super Bowl ring to prove he made the right decision.
It would, however, still be cool to see him teaming up with Harper and the rest of the Phillies. Hurts certainly has the speed to play shortstop or centerfield. He's also proven that he can swing a bat well, which would make him that much more fun to watch as a baseball player.
But Hurts and Philly fans can keep dreaming!
