I'm not a football fan, and didn't really know any of the players. Other than Mr Pfizer.
One player who really stood out for me was Eagle QB Jalen Hurts. First thing that caught my eye was he's not covered in tats. (I have nothing against a few nice tats, but athletes tend to go way overboard and get covered in them). And then when he was…

(I have nothing against a few nice tats, but athletes tend to go way overboard and get covered in them). And then when he was interviewed post-game, I was struck by how well he spoke. And even thanked GOD on national TV! I applaud you, Sir. And congrats on the win!
There are some good clips of Jalen and some of his teammates talking about their faith on that Sports Spectrum sight. We love Jalen in Alabama where he played for a couple of years then because Tua Tagovailoa replaced him as starter he went on to Oklahoma and had a great college career. Much respect for him.
For the past year or so Faith and Football have been front and center most especially in college football but also in the NFl. Well before the presidential election but even more so afterwards, the Coaches and players are no longer hiding their faith.
Go watch the post game remarks right after the college football national championship this year. Notre Dame and Ohio State coaches and players very vocal about their faith. I see it at my son’s high school as well. Something has shifted.

Only watched post-game long enough to hear the Eagles coach thank God and Jesus. He led his remarks by thanking God.
