Petty": Jalen Hurts' Mom Calls Out A.J. Brown for Taking QB's Jersey Number At Patriots

A.J. Brown’s move to the New England Patriots on June 1 has sparked debate over his choice of No. 1 jersey, previously worn by Jalen Hurts and linked to Hurts’ QB status. Hurts’ mother, Pamela Hurts, posted a dig on social media, calling the move petty as Patriots’ post captioned The 1, while Eagles’ social accounts replied with a similar The 1 tribute for Hurts. Brown had worn No. 11 for most of his career, including Ole Miss, but chose No. 1 in New England, a number Hurts wore with the Eagles; Warren Moon’s No. 1 retired in Tennessee, and Edelman had previously blessed No. 11, which Brown declined. Rumors of a feud circulated amid the online chatter.
