Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has been making waves in the NFL with his impressive work ethic, with the latest comparisons to the legendary quarterback Tom Brady, drawn by a former Eagles player.
Brady bid adieu to his 23-year illustrious career by announcing his retirement decision for the second time in February this year, exactly one year after the first retirement announcement, albeit the legendary QB seems indifferent to making a u-turn this time as he said he is retiring “for good”.
Are there any similarities between Tom Brady and Jalen Hurts?
The host of the Rich Eisen Show asked the former Philly defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh if he found any similarity between the fourth-year signal-caller Jalen Hurts and NFL GOAT Tom Brady.
Suh replied despite both being different persons Brady and Hurts share some common qualities including work ethics, determination to push other people around them, and a positive mind.
He’s played in three Super Bowls, including two in the last three seasons with #GoBucs and #FlyEaglesFly — great chat with @NdamukongSuh on the holding call and @TomBrady + @JalenHurts similarities:#NFL #NFLDraft pic.twitter.com/zvkrgLdd1Z

The ex-Philly gushed about both veteran QB’ leadership spirits and discussed how they fit the team’s needs.
Ndamukong hit free agency after almost ensuring another Super Bowl with the Philly and has rings on his mind to help add to his lengthy resume.
The 36-year-old signed with the Eagles in the middle of the season on a one-year contract and became a key player on their squad by racking up 10 tackles and one sack in eight games. The five-time All-Pro played for five different organizations over his 13-year career and is now looking for his next destination.
As Eagles fans eagerly anticipate the upcoming season, Suh’s comparison of Hurts’ work ethic to that of Brady has generated buzz and excitement, raising expectations for the young QB as he continues to strive for greatness on and off the field.
With comparisons to three-time NFL MVP, Hurts is setting high standards for himself and is determined to continue his upward trajectory in the league.
