This is an episode of the “Philly Sports with Giovanni” podcast that you don’t want to miss.

As part of the “Eagles Unfiltered” podcast team, Giovanni goes one-on-one with one of the most talked-about athletes in Philadelphia this past year, Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts.

With the 2021 NFL Draft just days away, with the first round beginning on Thursday night and continuing through Friday and Saturday, Giovanni dives into last year's draft with Hurts, who was taken in the second round, the 53rd player taken overall.

Hurts talks to Giovanni about his offseason training regimen and what the highlight was of his rookie season.

What was his highlight?

Also, Hurts reveals what was the top lesson he learned in 2020 that he will carry with him into this season, a season in which he is expected to be the starter.

Hear Hurts talk about Nick Sirianni and what the QB’s impressions have been so far of the Eagles’ new, first-time head coach.

Who are some of Hurts’ best friends on the team, and what player he called “literally the funniest guy you’ll ever meet"?

Hear who Hurts said this about: "Having a guy like that protecting you feel good at all times because not too many people are getting past him. He’s a big joker."

Giovanni saves some of the best for last when he asks for advice on how to be a successful coach, which is one of Gio’s goals. Hurts’ answer, with real heartfelt talk about his father, hits home.
