About the Book:

From Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts comes an empowering story about friendship, the power of teamwork, and achieving goals together.
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 the Author:

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

Eagles. Known for his exceptional leadership and work ethic, Hurts was selected by

the Eagles in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft after a stellar collegiate career

at Alabama and Oklahoma. 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.


Hurts is also the founder of the Jalen Hurts Foundation, which serves to strengthen

communities by providing resources and support programs to create positive role

models among today’s youth and to encourage and nurture them to pursue their

passions.
