Jalen Hurts and DeVonta Smith’s Super Bowl Bromance Hits Different
Hurts and Smith had a full-on movie moment on the sidelines after the Super Bowl win.
As the clock wound down on the Philadelphia Eagles’ 40-22 beatdown of the Kansas City Chiefs, NFL Films caught the QB and his star WR sharing an emotional exchange that had fans (and maybe a few tough guys) feeling all the feelings.

“I love you boy,” Smith said to Hurts. “Way to keep this (expletive) going, man. … Hey, this ain’t our last time at this.”
Hurts, ever the composed leader, wasn’t about to let the moment slip by. “It’s been a ride, man. You deserve it, bro. Embrace this (expletive). In your hometown. In your hometown.”
Yeah, this wasn’t just a championship; it was personal. Smith won his first ring 73 miles from where he grew up in Amite, Louisiana. And he made sure the home crowd had something to remember, torching the Chiefs for 69 yards and a 46-yard TD bomb that all but sealed the deal.
Oh, and he made history too. Smith is now the fourth player ever to complete the Heisman-National Championship-Super Bowl trifecta. From Saturdays at Bama to Sundays in Philly, these two just keep stacking wins. And if Smith’s words mean anything? They’re not done yet.

For many, it was a reminder of how deep their bond runs. One fan called Hurts a “class act” and even admitted the moment “made me pull for the Eagles!” That’s the power of real, unfiltered sportsmanship — it wins hearts beyond team rivalries.

Not everyone is fully on board, though.
Another fan confessed they’d be happy for Philly “if it wasn’t for how bad the fans were.” Still, they gave props to the squad, saying, “Love Barkley, Hurts, Brown, Smith, etc.” Respect for the players, even with mixed feelings on the fan base.
Then there’s the pure appreciation for Hurts as a leader. “He seems like a great young man. I wish nothing but the best for him.”
Smith, of course, had his own mic-drop moment.
One fan summed it up perfectly: “No Alabama player has caught a TD pass in the Super Bowl. DeVonta said ‘hold my beer.’”
And finally, some fans didn’t need an allegiance to feel the moment. “So happy for those guys. Not even an Eagles or Bama fan, but they’ve been class throughout it all.” A win that went beyond Philly.
Real recognizes real. And Hurts and Smith just cemented their legacy.
