2x NFL Champion Sounds Off on Jalen Hurts Take
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Even after a successful Super Bowl run, opinions remain divided on Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts. As Hurts celebrates his first Super Bowl MVP, NFL media, fans, and former players have debated Hurts' standing as a top quarterback in the game. Recently, the former NFL MVP Cam Newton generated a ton of buzz around his take, as he claimed that Hurts was not a top 10 quarterback, in his opinion. "It's hard for me to grade Jalen Hurts with the talent that he has around him," Newton said on '4th & 1 with Cam Newton.' "Jalen Hurts is a great quarterback, but if we're talking about what they bring to the table, it's hard to judge what Jalen Hurts can do when you're throwing to a guy like AJ Brown, DeVonta Smith, you have tight end skillset, you have a dominant defense, the best running back in the game. Download Madden and see how many stars are on the offensive side of Philly. ... Jalen Hurts does not have to play elite for the Philadelphia Eagles to win. He has to play good—but he doesn't have to play elite. We're not asking you to win the game, we're just asking you not to lose it." Jalen Hurts #1 of the Philadelphia Eagles warms up prior to an NFL football game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Atlanta Falcons at Lincoln Financial Field on September 16, 2024 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Jalen Hurts #1 of the Philadelphia Eagles warms up prior to an NFL football game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Atlanta Falcons at Lincoln Financial Field on September 16, 2024 in Philadelphia, opinion on Hurts matches many of the Eagles passer's top critics. Still, the former Panthers quarterback's comments on the Eagles veteran haven't sat right with everybody—especially the former Eagles wideout, Torrey Smith. "Jalen is the only QB that gets punished because he has a competent GM," the two-time NFL champion wrote on social media last week. "Jalen does his job with what he has. Every other GM is trying to put their QB in the same situation as Jalen Hurts. Superhero ball is overrated. You can because HE is your QB!" Jalen is the only qb that gets punished because he has a competent GM. Jalen does his job with what he has. Every other GM is trying to put their qb in the same situation as Jalen Hurts. Superhero ball is overrated. You can win because HE is your QB! — Torrey Smith (@TorreySmithWR) July 18, 2025 Hurts carries a lot of pure talent with him, but his history of leading his team to win football games has been his biggest strength. Yet, it's also been used against him, since the Eagles' front office has built one of the strongest rosters since the Hurts era kicked off. AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith are Hurts' top two weapons, and they are recognized as some of the best receivers in the game. Dallas Goedert has been one of the NFL's most productive tight ends when healthy, and the Eagles have had a strong offensive line for many years at this point. Last season, the Eagles added one of the best rushers in the game with Saquon Barkley. The veteran running back had one of the best seasons the league has ever seen. It all clicked for Hurts and the Eagles last year, as they defeated the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX. Despite Hurts earning the game's MVP award, he's still fighting for respect as a top-five—and even top 10—quarterback in the game. While not every former player would side with the argument that Hurts is a top QB in the league, the former Eagle Torrey Smith is sold on the former second-rounder as an elite talent.

Rebuilding HBCU Adds SEC Football Games to Schedule
Tennessee State University is loading its schedule with heavyweight matchups-not by accident. TSU Athletic Director Mikki Allen confirmed this week that the HBCU will take on three Southeastern Conference (SEC) powerhouses. Georgia, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, and a trip to Middle Tennessee State over the next four years. These are not just football games; they're potential turning points in a new era for the HBCU program. In March, Tennessee State parted ways with NFL legend Eddie George and handed the reins to another former pro, Reggie Barlow. Barlow arrives with Super Bowl credibility and HBCU coaching roots at Alabama State. TSU sits near the bottom of the projected 2025 OVC/Big South standings. These SEC matchups could expose or elevate the program under Barlow's leadership. And that's the point. 'You're talking about SEC games. You're talking about great tradition programs like Georgia, like Tennessee, and, of course, like Vanderbilt,' Barlow said. 'It's a huge task and a huge challenge. But I just look forward to being in that atmosphere and that environment.' Barlow replaces George, who brought star power but struggled to gain consistent traction on the field. Now, the Tigers hope that Barlow's coaching acumen and connections-he coached at Alabama State from 2007 to 2014 and was part of a UFL championship with the Birmingham Stallions-can translate into wins and visibility for TSU. These games will help with both. 2026 TSU will travel to Athens to face the Georgia Bulldogs, the back-to-back national champions. Then, in 2027, the Tigers are tentatively scheduled to play the Tennessee Volunteers at Neyland Stadium. However, Allen is lobbying to make that a historic showdown in Nashville's soon-to-be-opened Nissan Stadium. "It's going to be a special game," Allen said. "We're here by the state capital and would love to play that game in the inaugural year at the new Nissan Stadium." That's a meaningful matchup for Allen personally. He played on Tennessee's 1998 national championship team and has been working behind the scenes to make it happen. TSU will follow those up with Middle Tennessee State in 2028 and Vanderbilt in 2029, continuing a strategy of early-season, high-profile matchups that offer exposure and guaranteed paydays. "That's strong, that's really strong," Allen added. "We've got some Super Bowl champs [on staff]… so that gave us a lot of connections with some of these bigger programs to work these games out." For a Tennessee State University program that hasn't played an FBS opponent since a 56–3 loss to Notre Dame in 2023, the leap back into this competition tier is bold and strategic. While wins in these contests might be long shots, the experiences, recruiting implications, and national exposure can be transformative for an HBCU program like TSU. These are measuring stick moments, especially for Barlow as he begins rebuilding trust, culture, and competitiveness in Nashville. He's not shying away from the pressure. 'Just being able to go and play in those stadiums and get that experience for our young men here and our coaches is going to be exciting,' Barlow said. Tennessee State may be near the bottom of the OVC/Big South preseason rankings, but they aim for the top of the conversation. These SEC showdowns won't just test their talent. They'll define the early chapters of Reggie Barlow's regime and reaffirm TSU's ambition to become a rising force among HBCUs and beyond.

Why the Cowboys hold training camp in Oxnard, California
The Dallas Cowboys began their offseason training camp on Monday as the franchise gears up for another run at a Super Bowl in 2025. There are certainly some major storylines as the Cowboys begin camp, including the status of star defensive end Micah Parsons, who is currently negotiating a new contract with the team but still arrived at training camp on Monday. It should be an exciting few weeks as Dallas' camp gets underway in sunny *checks notes* southern California? That's right. Every season since 2012 (with the exception of the COVID-19 season in 2020), the Cowboys have held their training camp in Oxnard, California. The team has held 18 camps overall in Oxnard since 2001 after previously holding camp in California from 1963-89. So, why does Cowboys owner Jerry Jones opt to move his team across the country for camp? There are a few reasons. The weather is the obvious one. Holding camp in California rather than Texas in July allows the Cowboys to practice outside and, therefore, have more fans in attendance. There are other reasons, as well, such as added revenue streams and appealing to Dallas' wide-reaching fan base. Dallas even manages to bring some star power into the building occasionally, as it did in 2022 when Jamie Foxx made an appearance at the team's facilities. The tradition doesn't seem likely to go away any time soon, either. Earlier this month, the team agreed on a five-year deal to keep Dallas' training camp in Oxnard through 2030. While holding your offseason training camp on the other side of the country isn't exactly typical in the NFL, it's a luxury you have when you are a brand as well-known as the Cowboys.
