Former Pro Bowler Wishes He Could Return to His Prime—Just to Play for the Eagles: “Because Jalen Hurts Is There, and He’s a True Leader

Former Pro Bowler Wishes He Could Return to His Prime—Just to Play for the Eagles: “Because Jalen Hurts Is There, and He’s a True Leader

In a surprising recent interview, former Pro Bowl defensive back Logan Ryan made waves by admitting one big regret in his NFL career:
He wishes he could turn back time and play for the Philadelphia Eagles—just to be on the same team as Jalen Hurts.

“If I could go back and choose again, I’d want to play for the Eagles,” Ryan confessed. “Partly because of how impressed I am with Jalen Hurts. He’s the kind of leader every locker room needs—calm, focused, selfless. I truly respect him.”

The quote was short but powerful—and quickly lit up the NFL community, especially among Eagles fans. Logan Ryan, a two-time Super Bowl champion and respected veteran who’s suited up for the Patriots, Titans, Giants, and Buccaneers, never played for Philly during his prime. Now, at 33 and nearing the end of his career, he’s openly admiring the team—and especially its quarterback.

Some fans are calling it a “late love letter” to the Eagles—a franchise currently built around one of the league’s most respected young leaders: Jalen Hurts.

Fan reactions online came pouring in:

“Too bad it’s too late! But Ryan in his prime with Hurts? That combo would’ve wrecked opposing offenses.”

“This just proves how powerful Hurts’ leadership is. When veterans want to play for you—that speaks volumes.”

It begs the question:
If Logan Ryan had joined the Eagles in his prime, would he have helped write another chapter in Philadelphia’s football history?

Farewell to the Booth, Patriots Legend Tom Brady to Return to the Field After the 2025 NFL Season
Farewell to the Booth, Patriots Legend Tom Brady to Return to the Field After the 2025 NFL Season Foxborough, September 2025 – After more than three years of bidding farewell to his professional football career, New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers legend Tom Brady has stunned fans by confirming his return to the field in 2026. However, this comeback will not be within the NFL, but at a special sporting event held in Saudi Arabia. Brady will participate in the Fanatics Flag Football Classic, the inaugural flag football tournament scheduled for March 21, 2026, at Kingdom Arena, Riyadh. This sport is based on American football, but instead of physical tackles, players must pull a flag from the opponent’s waist to stop the play. The event is part of the Riyadh Season, a massive sports, cultural, and entertainment festival organized by Saudi Arabia to solidify its global presence. Alongside Brady, a host of other football stars will join, including Saquon Barkley (Eagles), Christian McCaffrey (49ers), CeeDee Lamb (Cowboys), and his longtime close teammate Rob Gronkowski. The teams will be led by renowned coaches, including Pete Carroll, Sean Payton, and Kyle Shanahan. The game will be broadcast live globally by FOX Sports and the Tubi platform. Though no longer donning a Patriots or any NFL team’s jersey, this return carries significant meaning for fans. It marks the first time Tom Brady will compete since announcing his retirement in February 2023. Many experts believe this event is not only a symbolic comeback for the “GOAT” but also a platform to promote flag football ahead of its inclusion in the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. Tom Brady, at age 49 when the game takes place, once again proves his limitless appeal in the world of sports. Even after stepping away from the NFL, the name Brady is enough to turn any event into a global focal point.
