Alshon Jeffery's case for Jalen Hurts lifts NFL Network's morning show
The former Eagles receiver who won Super Bowl LII went on Good Morning Football, and his clip began at nearly twenty-four times the channel's usual first-day pace.
Alshon Jeffery went on Good Morning Football to argue that Jalen Hurts is the best quarterback in the NFL, and that segment is now the busiest video on NFL Network's channel. It is barely a day old and already past sixty thousand views.
Most new uploads here have a quiet first day. This one started at nearly twenty-four times that usual pace. On its own it drew more in a day than the whole channel typically does across everything it has posted.
The description says Jeffery also looks back on winning Super Bowl LII and talks about DeVonta Smith. That title came in February 2018, when Philadelphia beat the New England Patriots, and Jeffery caught a touchdown pass in the game. The quarterback he is praising has a Super Bowl of his own: Hurts was named MVP of Super Bowl LIX when the Eagles beat the Kansas City Chiefs. Smith has known Hurts longer than Philadelphia has. The two were teammates at Alabama before either of them reached the NFL.
