Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, the reigning Super Bowl MVP, was the first of Philadelphia’s players to address the crowd from the stage, and was met with cheers of “MVP” as he approached the podium lifting the Lombardi Trophy.

Like Hurts an Alabama alumnus and a second-round draft pick, Dickerson has been a Pro Bowl selection in three of his four seasons as Philadelphia’s left guard. He spent parts of the parade route off the top of the bus and along the barricades celebrating with Eagles fans – high-fiving with one hand and holding a beer in the other.

Before he was a Super Bowl champion with the Eagles, Jalen Hurts battled plenty of adversity in his football career in college and the pros.
