The Philadelphia Eagles are walking on the clouds right now.
They won the Super Bowl against the most dominant team in the league, preventing them from winning their third Super Bowl in a row.
Notably, that’s why Brandon Graham believes Jalen Hurts has bragging rights over everybody else right now.
As reported by Dov Kleiman, the Eagles’ defender stated that Hurts was the best quarterback in the league after beating Patrick Mahomes, at least for the upcoming season.

“He got to be number one for this year.”

That’s a rather bold take.
Most people wouldn’t put Hurts in the upper echelon of the quarterback hierarchy.
Most will agree that that spot belongs to Mahomes, Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, and Lamar Jackson.
Even so, he’s not that far below, and there’s no reason to believe he can’t climb that ladder.
If anything, Hurts is used to being doubted, and he’s proven the critics wrong over and over.
From having MVP-caliber seasons to leading his team to two Super Bowls and winning one, it’s safe to say that he doesn’t have much left to prove.
That’s a lot to say for someone who’s just taking his first steps in the pros and who should continue to play at a high level for a very, very long time.
Hurts and the Eagles will continue to be a driving force in the game.
Their roster is built to compete at the highest level for years to come, and not even his biggest doubter can take his Super Bowl ring away from him.
