From big stats and a Hail Mary, to a benching and rebirth, the memorable moments of Jalen...
When Jalen Hurts and the Eagles came to NRG this season, the former Channelview quarterback received a warm welcome.Jalen Hurts, who grew up on Houston's East Side and played at Channelview, will be in the Super Bowl against the Chiefs on Feb. 12 in Glendale, Ariz.
The emails and twitter DMs started to pour in. Was Channelview padding stats? Who was this kid? Other high school coaches, college coaches, writers in other cities all wanted to know. I was lucky enough to write about him and his family a few more times over the years — when he was at Alabama and then at Oklahoma. Now, I’m seeing him prove everyone who thought he couldn’t be a quarterback in the NFL wrong — something I knew he’d do after seeing what he could manage all those years ago in high school football in the incredibly competitive Houston area.Jalen Hurts, walking on the field before a game against North Shore in 2014, ended it in spectacular fashion.
Leading the Eagles to victory Feb. 12 would be bigger, especially given the extraordinary stakes, and Hurts already has proven he’s capable of delivering in history-making occasions.Jalen Hurts, running against USC as a freshman, committed to Alabama when Texas didn't make a timely offer.There’s always a recruiting story.

Buechele played three seasons at Texas before transferring to SMU. He’ll be on the sideline in Glendale, Ariz., on Super Bowl Sunday as a backup to Patrick Mahomes of the Chiefs.Nick Saban made the tough decision to bench Jalen Hurts in the national title game in favor of Tua Tagovailoa, who rallied Crimson Tide in overtime.The six-month sample size suggested he should, but still, no one thought Nick Saban would do it. College football’s greatest coach isn’t much of a gambler.
Jalen Hurts completed three of his eight first-half passes and totaled 21 yards. A month earlier, Hurts went 12-for-22 and mustered 112 yards during an Iron Bowl loss against Auburn. Hurts threw for fewer than 160 yards in six of Alabama’s 13 games preceding this one. Hurts’ mobility and moxie — and Alabama’s menacing defense — masked the deficiency. Alabama kept winning, but all wondered how sustainable it was.
