Ex-Eagles Bryce Huff Reveals Locker Room Secret: “Jalen Hurts Isn’t as Friendly as He Looks”

Former Eagles edge rusher Bryce Huff, now with the New York Jets, is making headlines not for his play—but for what he said about his former quarterback, Jalen Hurts.

In a recent interview on a New York sports podcast, Huff pulled back the curtain on the Eagles locker room, offering a rare unfiltered look into the team’s dynamic. And his comments were aimed squarely at the man many see as the face of the franchise.

“People see Hurts as this calm, cool, friendly leader,” Huff said. “But in the locker room? Let’s just say… it’s different. He’s not as approachable as folks think.”

The remark sent waves through social media, especially among Eagles fans who have long praised Hurts for his leadership, humility, and maturity. While Huff didn’t accuse Hurts of being toxic or divisive, his tone suggested there was more distance—and maybe more ego—than the public sees.

“He’s about business. All business,” Huff added. “Not a lot of joking, not a lot of bonding. If you weren’t in his inner circle, you stayed out of the way.”

It’s a subtle jab, but one that hints at a possible reason behind some of the Eagles’ locker room tension late last season. After a dominant start, the team stumbled down the stretch, and several anonymous reports pointed to chemistry issues behind closed doors.

Hurts has yet to respond publicly, and the Eagles organization has declined to comment. But within the NFL, such revelations often carry more weight than intended—especially when coming from former teammates.

Whether this is a personal gripe or a crack in the Eagles’ image, one thing is clear: the locker room vibe in Philly may not be as united as it seems from the outside.

And for Hurts, maintaining his polished public persona might just get a little harder moving forward.
