Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts visited Disney World just hours after his team trounced the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX, keeping alive one of the best traditions in sports.
Hurts was seen in social media videos addressing excited Eagles fans, hanging with Mickey Mouse, and even riding some sick roller coasters.
The visit came less than 24 hours after the Eagles defeated the Chiefs going away. The 40-22 final score did not match the blowout level.
Hurts contributed an extremely efficient 17 out of 22 passes for 221 yards, two touchdowns in the air, and another 72 yards and a touchdown on the ground.
His performance earned him MVP honors. But shortly thereafter, he was hanging with another MVP at the “Happiest place on Earth.”

Jalen Hurts Hits Disney World
Aside from living it up with Mickey Mouse, Jalen Hurts also led his team’s fans in an “E-A-G-L-E-S” chant. Which, we’re just glad he knew how to spell it unlike the mayor of Philadelphia.
His supporters shouted back, “MVP!” in return.

Hurts hit Disney with his fiancƩe, Bry Burrows, by his side. The two were even seen riding the TRON Lightcycle Run roller coaster. It looked like they were having a fantastic time. And rightly so!

Redemption For The Eagles QB
Jalen Hurts’ comeback story is one to be celebrated. You may recall that he was benched on the biggest stage in college and replaced by Tua Tagovailoa at halftime of the national championship game in 2018, with his team trailing 13-0.
Hurts was just 3 for 8 for 21 yards in that first half. Legendary coach Nick Saban went with Tagovailoa, who sparked a rally and led the Crimson Tide to the tile.
Hurts would become Tua’s backup and then transfer to Oklahoma, where he rebuilt himself.
In his third season with the Eagles, Hurts led his team to Super Bowl 57 against these same Chiefs. Unfortunately, they lost 38-35, even as Hurts threw for over 300 yards and rushed for another 70.
This time around, he was not to be denied. Hurts’ journey from a high-profile benching in college to a Super Bowl champion is a narrative of overcoming adversity, adapting, and ultimately succeeding on the biggest stage in professional football.
It’s a story practically worthy of a Disney movie.
