Ex-Philadelphia tight end Trey Burton tells TMZ Sports Jason Kelce is the Eagles' MVP this year ... not Jalen Hurts.
Don't get it twisted ... Burton wasn't shading Jalen at all -- he called the guy"spectacular" this year -- he just thinks that highly of Philly's center.
"I've played on a couple teams," said the 31-year-old, who was a teammate of Kelce's for years in Philadelphia."There hasn't been one guy that is comparable to Jason Kelce."Burton said the 35-year-old future Hall of Famer does it all for the offense in Philly -- explaining to us Kelce calls out protection schemes in both the running game and the passing game.
"When you go to your battle you hope you have him standing next to you," Burton said."And, you can look at him and everything's going to be all right. Just this calming presence that he has." Hurts likely wouldn't disagree -- Kelce has been a big reason he's had a breakout year ... helping give the QB enough time to throw 22 touchdowns while rushing for 13 more.
Three touchdowns in the first half for Jalen Hurts. He looks healthy. Eagles take a 28-0 lead into halftime. Complete domination
