Tom Brady has won a few Super Bowls, if you didn’t remember, so he gave Jalen Hurts some advice following the Philadelphia Eagles’ win over the Kansas City Chiefs.

The Eagles dominated from the start, en route to a 40-22 win Sunday in New Orleans. Hurts was named Super Bowl MVP and scored three total touchdowns in the win.

When he spoke with Brady on FOX after the game, there was one last thing Hurts had to do.

“I’m so happy for you,” Brady said to Hurts postgame. “What I want you to feel good about, don’t let that jersey out of your sight. I’ve had a few stolen over the years. Keep track of that, it’s going to be memorable down the road, I’m so happy for you.”

Hurts was also honored with The Pete Rozelle Trophy after a remarkable performance and named Super Bowl MVP.

Hurts finished 17-of-22 passing for 221 yards, with two touchdowns and one interception. Perhaps more importantly, he ran for 72 yards and a touchdown on 11 carries, frequently moving the chains by slipping free from the pocket and picking up key first downs.

The former Alabama and Oklahoma quarterback has been doubted throughout his career, but he has answered those question marks with a firm statement by winning the Super Bowl.

No less, he’s now a Super Bowl MVP. So he better hang onto that jersey because that thing is priceless! At least to Hurts.

As confetti rained down in the Caesars Superdome, Eagles vet Brandon Graham approached Hurts as he prepared for a postgame interview with FOX reporter Erin Andrews.

The pair embraced as Graham hyped up his teammate.

“I appreciate you!” he yelled. “Let ’em know. Let them boys know. Tell ’em to get off your back.”

Seems like everyone has advice for the Eagles QB, who’s just 26 years old and seemingly set up for an epic run in Philadelphia. It’s hard to get back to the “Big Game,” but Hurts has been to two Super Bowls and is now a champion.

This season, Hurts went 12-3 as a starter and threw for 2,903 yards, 18 touchdowns, five interceptions, a 68.7% completion percentage, 630 rushing yards and 14 rushing touchdowns.

In four playoff games, Hurts threw for 726 yards (71.4%), five touchdowns, one interception, 194 rushing yards and five rushing touchdowns.
