Jalen Hurts and A.J. Brown finally had their moment. After Brown was asked Wednesday if he’d talked to Hurts since the trade and gave a one-word answer: “No,” the two caught up for a brief, crucial interaction following Thursday’s joint training camp practice. This wasn’t just a quick wave, either.
The On-Field Meet-Up We All Needed
It all went down as Brown was heading off the main practice fields towards the Patriots’ facility. Instead of just walking inside, he jogged right up to Hurts, who was still out there getting extra work in, throwing to some Eagles receivers like Makai Lemon, Dontayvion Wicks, and Hollywood Brown. For about 45 seconds, the former teammates dapped each other up, sharing smiles and some words. It felt like the last real chance for them to interact in front of the media before the Eagles packed up and headed back to their hotel.
“It’s All Love,” Says Mailata
While this was unfolding, Eagles teammate Jordan Mailata was right there, waiting for his post-practice media availability. He saw the whole thing and quipped that the pictures and videos would rack up big numbers on social media. Mailata then added the perfect summary: “See? It’s all love.” That line right there tells you so much. It’s clear that their close bond might not be what it once was, but this isn’t some bitter rivalry either. They are definitely not mortal enemies who can’t even stand to be near each other.
For fans, seeing these two Super Bowl LIX champions share a moment like this has to be a good thing. It settles some of the chatter that was building up this week about whether they’d even acknowledge each other. Now we know: they did, and it was genuine. The training camp grind continues, but at least this little bit of drama is squared away.
