Jalen Hurts is as smooth as they come.
He's often characterized by his old soul and taste for R&B. So, when Pam Oliver asked Hurts about how he would celebrate a hard-fought victory over Chicago during the regular season, Hurts said he would listen to some Anita Baker on the fight home.
Word got around social media and Baker congratulated Hurts on his performance.
Flashing forward to now, Hurts and the Eagles are in the NFC Championship. And it was recently announced that the Eagles are going to have Baker sing the national anthem ahead of the team's showdown with the San Francisco 49ers.
The old soul is getting an R&B rendition of the National Anthem ahead of the biggest game of his career. It's fitting. Many are saying having Baker there will propel the Eagles toward victory.
That may be overstating the singer's powers. However, it is sure to make Hurts excited to go out there and compete against San Francisco.
Additionally for the game, DJ Jazzy Jeff will perform at halftime, while Hall of Famer and Eagles legend, Brian Dawkins will be the honorary captain.
