Since then, former NFL players like Terrell Owens, Ryan Clark and Dan Orlovsky have criticized Newton, even going as far as to take shots at his infamous Super Bowl 50 play against the Denver Broncos when he didn't dive on a fumble.

We've heard comparisons involving Jalen Hurts and Tom Brady. We've seen Philly's star quarterback hang out with Michael Jordan on more than one occasion. Recently, Cam Newton threw a few darts at him. That was a little surprising, but we are used to hearing his name tossed around on FS1 daily.

That’s not just lip service. Matthews has caught passes from his share of signal-callers including but not limited to – Carson Wentz, Ryan Tannehill, and Jimmy Garoppolo. He also played alongside Hurts during the quarterback’s rookie season in 2020. What stood out wasn’t just the talent. It was the mentality.

The NFL world erupted in controversy this week after former MVP Cam Newton left Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts off his top-10 quarterback rankings, prompting a fiery response from Eagles legend Terrell Owens that has since gone viral across social media.

FS1's First Things First took notice of the comments and parlayed them into a segment on their show, where Chris Broussard took the opportunity to lavish praise on Hurts for not ever slipping that bad boy onto his finger. "I don't like it," Broussard said. "I love it. I love it. That's a leader."
