Jalen Hurts may be an MVP candidate and quarterback for the Eagles, but he’s also a hometown kid from the Eastside of Houston, and this week he has a dilemma.
The Texas native is the quarterback in Philadelphia, and his hometown Astros will face the Phillies in the World Series on Friday night in Houston for game one.
Asked about his allegiance for this epic matchup, the Eagles quarterback kept it politically correct in assessing where his heart lies.
“I’m Houston born and raised.
I love my city. That’s my hometown. But my home now is Philly. And I love this city too”-Jalen Hurts on Phillies Astros World Series pic.twitter.com/hD76xbix5s

Hurts previously caught flak for wearing an Astros hat to a press conference during his rookie season in 2020 after taking over then-quarterback Carson Wentz.
He’s a Philly guy now through and through, but he’s really in a win-win situation from a fan’s point of view.
