If there were any doubts after no photographic evidence of the Philadelphia Eagles&#8217; franchise quarterback wearing his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/philadelphia\/news\/philadelphia-eagles-super-bowl-rings\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Super Bowl LIX ring<\/a> during last week&#8217;s reveal, he affirmed it Wednesday at training camp.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve moved on to the new year,&#8221; Hurts said when asked why he didn&#8217;t wear the ring. &#8220;It&#8217;s as simple as that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Eagles held their Super Bowl LIX ring ceremony last Friday at Ballers at The Battery, months after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/philadelphia\/live-updates\/eagles-vs-chiefs-super-bowl-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">dominating the Kansas City Chiefs<\/a> to the tune of 40-22 in the Big Game.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/philadelphia\/news\/eagles-super-bowl-ring-ceremony-postponed\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">ceremony was postponed and delayed<\/a>\u00a0due to production issues with the jeweler. When it finally happened, photos and video from the reveal showed nearly all of the Eagles in attendance wearing the bling.<\/p>\n<p>Except for Hurts.<\/p>\n<p>There appear to be no publicly available photos of Hurts wearing the ring. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.philadelphiaeagles.com\/photos\/photos-eagles-super-bowl-lix-championship-ring-party\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Eagles&#8217; photo gallery on their website<\/a>\u00a0features Hurts with the ring still in its box.<\/p>\n<p>After the first training camp practice Wednesday, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/philadelphia\/news\/nfl-mvp-super-bowl-jalen-hurts-eagles\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Super Bowl LIX MVP<\/a> described seeing the ring in person as &#8220;honestly surreal.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Almost not nostalgic, but to see something that you&#8217;ve earned, have a moment to appreciate that one last time,&#8221; Hurts said. &#8220;Kind of overdue in terms of what it was supposed to be initially, but it was a moment and that moment&#8217;s behind us.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hurts addresses recent NFL QB rankings debates<\/p>\n<p>Last week, an article by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/nfl\/story\/_\/id\/45530940\/top-10-nfl-quarterbacks-execs-scouts-2025-espn-jeremy-fowler-position-rankings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">ESPN&#8217;s Jeremy Fowler<\/a> sparked debate online and on TV after Hurts barely cracked the top 10 NFL quarterbacks. Fowler surveyed NFL executives, coaches and scouts. Hurts was QB No. 9 on the list. Fowler&#8217;s article led to other national media analysts and former NFL players weighing in.<\/p>\n<p>In his first press conference of training camp, Hurts was asked if he pays attention to how the outside world and his peers rank him.<\/p>\n<p>Before he answered, he smiled and then said: &#8220;I&#8217;m just focused on being the best I can be.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In a follow-up question, he responded with, &#8220;Purely focused on being the best I can be.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This isn&#8217;t anything new for Hurts, who went from being <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/philadelphia\/news\/eagles-jalen-hurts-super-bowl-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">benched in the National Championship in college to a Super Bowl champion<\/a>\u00a0last season. Before last season, the controversy centered on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/philadelphia\/news\/jalen-hurts-wink-martindale-nick-sirianni-eagles-relationship\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Hurts&#8217; relationship with Sirianni<\/a>. This summer, it was where he belongs among his NFL QB brethren.<\/p>\n<p>The advice Michael Jordan gave Jalen Hurts<\/p>\n<p>Hurts&#8217; affection for Michael Jordan is no secret. He <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/philadelphia\/news\/jalen-hurts-jordan-brand-eagles-identity\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">partnered with Jordan Brand<\/a> in 2023. He wears Jordan cleats. During the Super Bowl parade, he wore a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/philadelphia\/news\/jalen-hurts-jordan-brand-love-hurts-hoodie\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;Love, Hurts&#8221; hoodie<\/a>. One of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.philadelphiaeagles.com\/photos\/photo-gallery-super-bowl-lix-celebrations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">photos after the Super Bowl win<\/a>\u00a0was Jordan-esque, featuring Hurts sitting in the hallway with the Lombardi Trophy in front of him while he smoked a cigar.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this month, Hurts was spotted with MJ at a Jordan Brand event in Athens, Greece.<\/p>\n<p>What advice did the six-time NBA champion give Hurts?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He used every word but repeat, and I can appreciate that,&#8221; Hurts said Wednesday. &#8220;I think it&#8217;s just purely about resetting and being able to build that relationship and have those conversations. Those are always helpful, something I look forward to and appreciate.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Ultimately, it&#8217;s a new journey. It&#8217;s a blank canvas. We are who we are, we have what we have. Regardless of whether you win a championship or lose a championship, the next year you have to be able to reset, have the right focus, and pursue it with great intensity, great passion,&#8221; Hurts added. &#8220;I think that&#8217;s where we are. We have a new team, new individuals, and we have a tight-knit core that&#8217;s been here throughout time. We just want to continue building that chemistry we have.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t expect to hear Hurts say repeat anytime soon.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a new journey. It&#8217;s a new journey. It&#8217;s a new season and those things are far behind us,&#8221; Hurts said. &#8220;The past is behind us, and the future is too far away, so we have to stay present in worrying about right now.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\n        More from CBS News\n      <\/p>\n<p>      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/tom-dougherty\/\" class=\"content-author__name\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tom  Dougherty<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">Tom Dougherty is a digital content producer for CBS Philadelphia.
