Jalen Hurts Had the Classiest Gesture For Eagles Announcer After Super Bowl Win

The Philadelphia Eagles begin the 2025 NFL season as the defending Super Bowl champions. While players emphasize moving past last year's success to focus on new goals, fond memories surrounding the team's second Lombardi Trophy are still being shared.

Eagles radio play-by-play announcer Merrill Reese recently recounted receiving a gift from quarterback Jalen Hurts as training camp started. Reese described sitting in the press tent when someone delivered a box containing a signed pair of green and white Air Jordan cleats from Hurts. The cleats featured an inscription on the white part reading: "To M. Reese, you saw what no one else could. Love always, Jalen Hurts."

Reese, recognized as the definitive voice of the Eagles, has been a consistent believer in Hurts' athletic ability and his character as both a leader and a person since Hurts joined the team. The gift signifies that Hurts recognized and appreciated Reese's early support and was pleased to validate Reese's belief in him.
