The First Read, Week 5: Q&A with Eagles' Jalen Hurts; is Micah Parsons NFL's top defender?
Jeffri Chadiha sits down with Jalen Hurts to discuss what the Eagles QB shares with Tom Brady and much more. Plus, is the Cowboys' Micah Parsons the best defensive player in the NFL? Those are just two of the topics covered in this week's edition of The F
Jalen Hurts is a pretty good QB who has had similar experiences to Brady. He got benched for Tua.
From article:
I interviewed Tom Brady (who's also a client of House) when he first started playing in New England and we talked about how he went through his own adversity at Michigan, including splitting time his senior year with a top recruit. One thing he said that always stuck with me was that you never give anybody a reason to take you out once you have a chance to play. How does that compare to the way you operate?
Tom Brady lost his job in college?
He split time as a senior after being the full-time starter as a junior, and it was a major factor in him winding up as a sixth-round pick. I've heard you talk about how this is your offense now. Is your mindset similar to that because of the adversity you've faced?
Not from that viewpoint. I will say this is the first time I've ever heard that story. ... That's crazy to me. I have a lot of the same energy, just in terms of how important it is to stay steadfast and disciplined on what I'm supposed to do. He's the greatest quarterback to play this game. I have a lot of respect for him as a player and his history of how he got to this point. That's a great foundation for a guy like me.
I bring him up because I hear people talk about your relentless work ethic and the way you approach the game. His mindset as a young player was that nothing was going to be given to him. How does that compare to your approach?
It's always been that way. When I went to Alabama, I wasn't supposed to be the guy. Everybody else was the No. 1 quarterback in the country in their class. I was just a four-star guy from Texas, dual-threat and a little different from everyone else in the room. But I believed in myself, and the rest is history. I feel like it's all in the preparation. Sorry -- I'm still kind of blown away by the Brady stuff.
