Jalen Hurts reflected back on his time at Alabama during the Super Bowl media availability earlier this week.

Hurts played for the Crimson Tide from 2016 to 2018 before transferring to Oklahoma and being selected in the second round of the NFL Draft by the Philadelphia Eagles. A reporter asked Hurts about his journey from college to the Super Bowl and he shared his appreciation for his time in Tuscaloosa.

“I think it has been a journey,” Hurts said.  “I think it has been a true journey. I think the beautiful part about it is the journey is just beginning. My time at Alabama, definitely appreciated that, I learned so much. I built a lot of great friendships.”

Hurts and the Eagles will take on the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl Sunday. Kickoff is set for 5:30 p.m. CST.
