agles quarterback Jalen Hurts has spent the last couple of months trying to get from under the scrutiny of Philadelphia football fans for not leading the team to the “promised land,” also known as the Super Bowl.
At least he can count on his female fans to cheer him on, looking past his lackluster performance in the last half of the NFL season and focusing on his good looks, his cool demeanor, and his signature goatee.
Now, after appearing in Washington, D.C., at Nike’s Path to Progress event, some of those ladies are considering falling back, taking to social media in an uproar after he shaved his beard off.
Photographs of the 25-year-old Brand Jordan athlete sporting the fresh face alongside Jordan Brand President Sarah Mensah, Nike, Inc. President and CEO John Donahoe, professional BMX athlete Nigel Sylvester, and Los Angeles Sparks point guard Kia Nurse hit the internet, and women seemed to lose their minds.
The X account Eagles Nation posted the images, sparking off dialogue. One wrote, “He needs to grow it back expeditiously and never cut it off again!” One follower wrote, “no thank u jalen bby start growing it back.”
One X user tried to rationalize the sudden change in his opinion, stating, “He’s having an identity crisis.”
Another person furiously posted, “Who tf told Jalen Hurts to do that???!
While many of the comments suggested that by shaving the facial hair, Hurts’ new look added some years to his appearance. A few people said perhaps the Omega man was trying something new, and possibly ushering in a new energy for the next season.
The 2023 NFL season did not go well for the athlete.
