ABOUT :

Jalen is so excited for the new school year because this is the year he’ll finally get to try out for the football team! But when he arrives at school, he learns the unthinkable—that the football team has been cut. He and his friends are devastated. But Jalen isn’t ready to give up, and with some advice from some friends, maybe—just maybe—they can save the day.
Better than a Touchdown is a love letter to the power of community, being there for one another, and how a piece of good advice can change the course of a day. Told with Jalen’s signature wisdom and gorgeous art by Nneka Myers, Better than a Touchdown carries a message we can all learn from: that by working together, there’s nothing we can’t accomplish.

ABOUT :

Jalen Hurts is the star quarterback and 2025 Super Bowl MVP for the Philadelphia Eagles.

In just a few seasons, he has rapidly risen to become one of the NFL's elite quarterbacks, leading the Eagles to two Super Bowl appearances in 3 seasons, winning the 2025 Super Bowl, and earning Super Bowl MVP honors.
