For Hurts, the baptism wasn’t about publicity or timing. Sources close to the Eagles’ quarterback describe it as “a deeply personal milestone” — something he’d been contemplating for months.

“This was about grounding himself,” said one team insider. “Jalen has been under immense pressure — on and off the field. He wanted to reaffirm who he is and where his strength comes from before this next stretch of the season.”
