Smith won a Heisman Trophy at Alabama and was drafted No. 10 overall recruit by the Eagles in 2021. Meanwhile Hurts was benched in the 2018 national championship game (one they both won together), and transferred to Oklahoma, also ending up as a Heisman finalist.
In the 2020 NFL Draft, he was picked by the Eagles in the second round. After splitting time as a backup, he took his team to a Super Bowl win alongside his best mate.
Hurts was named the MVP of the game after completing 17 of 22 passes for 221 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. He also led the game in rushing with 72 yards and a score on 11 carries. Smith had four catches for 69 yards and one score.
