Jalen Hurts Donates $1 Million to the Family of an 18-Year-Old Alabama Student Shot at a Weekend Party

Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is insecure. It's his superpower

Tuscaloosa, Alabama — The nation is mourning after a heartbreaking tragedy in Alabama, where 18-year-old Kimber Mills was shot in the leg and head during a weekend party. Amid the grief, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has captured hearts across the country by donating $1 million to support Mills’ family in this devastating time.

“She had the biggest crowd for an Honor Walk that the doctors had ever seen,” said Mills’ sister tearfully. “She was loved by so many. We will miss you, Kimber.”

The shooting occurred around 7:08 p.m., when Mills was attending a gathering with friends. Despite doctors’ best efforts, she did not survive her injuries. In the midst of their unimaginable pain, her family made a powerful, selfless decision — to donate Kimber’s organs to save the lives of others.

News of that decision quickly spread across Alabama — and deeply moved Jalen Hurts, who once called the state home during his college years at the University of Alabama.

“I spent a lot of time in Alabama and have so many great memories there,” Hurts said. “When I heard about what happened to Kimber, I couldn’t just sit still. No one deserves to lose their life like that. I just wanted to do something — anything — to let her family know they’re not alone.”

According to Hurts’ representatives, the $1 million donation will go directly to the Kimber Mills Memorial Fund, which will assist with funeral costs and provide scholarships for local students in her honor.

On social media, fans and teammates flooded timelines with messages of admiration:

“This is why we love Jalen Hurts — not just for what he does on the field, but for the kind of man he is off it.”

Kimber may be gone, but her kindness — and Hurts’ act of compassion — have reminded the world that even in the darkest moments, there’s still light left in humanity.

Packers' Star QB Refuses MVP Title to Fully Focus on Team in Tough Phase
Can you believe it? Jordan Love, the "red-hot" quarterback of the Green Bay Packers, is on track to compete for MVP with +1000 odds at DraftKings – but this guy is "refusing" personal glory to pour all his energy into the team struggling with a "hellish" schedule! Is this a heroic act or just a ploy? Read now to uncover the "truth" behind it! In the Super Bowl era, the Packers have produced three MVP legends: Bart Starr (1966), Brett Favre (1995-1997), and Aaron Rodgers (2011, 2014, 2020, 2021). Now, Jordan Love has a chance to become the fourth, putting the Packers on par with the Baltimore/Indianapolis Colts – the only team with four QB MVPs like Johnny Unitas, Earl Morrall, Bert Jones, and Peyton Manning. With his current "explosive" form, Love ranks fourth in the NFL for passer rating (105.4), tied for fifth in touchdown passes (22), with only four interceptions – the fewest among QBs starting all 13 games, and a 67.1% completion rate ranking seventh. But instead of "dreaming" of MVP, Love seems to be "rejecting" it! In a recent interview, he emphasized: "These are the most important games of the season, obviously with a lot of things coming down to playoff seeding and the division race, so this is the important football. I think it’s everybody, we keep stacking and keep getting better and better throughout the season and learn from the mistakes we make and overcome some of the obstacles. Just keep stacking and trying to find ways to get better every day is something that’s been helping us." These words are like a clear "declaration": Love doesn't care about MVP, but only wants to focus on the team in its "tough phase" with a 9-3-1 record, trailing the Rams (10-3) in the NFC. Head coach Matt LaFleur also "sings along": "Yeah, he’s playing really good football right now. That’s obviously important and it’s going to be important moving forward." And offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich praises the consistency: "I would say just the consistency that he’s had has been great... Just being a consistent, efficient quarterback is one thing that I’ve been really pleased with." But it's Packers defensive end Micah Parsons who "reveals" why Love deserves but is "overlooking" MVP: "I definitely think he deserves recognition... If you go off strength of schedule, how he's played and with him missing half his receivers, I think that goes unnoticed, too. Some of the things he did without (Christian Watson) early in the year, then (Jayden Reed), so this guy was missing two of his starting receivers majority of the year and they're just now getting back in these last eight weeks of the stretch, so I definitely think he deserves a lot more credit and I'm just happy I'm able to be a part of this journey with him." Currently, Matthew Stafford of the Rams leads the MVP race with -180 odds, 35 touchdown passes (far ahead of Dak Prescott with 26), passer rating 113.1, and only four interceptions. Drake Maye of the Patriots follows with +200, passer rating 111.9, 3,412 passing yards, and 23 touchdowns. Love, with a four-game winning streak (nine touchdowns, one interception, passer rating 112.1), could stage a comeback if he maintains "red-hot form" – especially in the upcoming two "epic" games: away at Denver (11-2) and Chicago (9-4). If the Packers leap to the NFC's No. 1 seed (likely needing a 4-0 finish), while the Rams stumble against Detroit (8-5) and Seattle (10-3), or the Patriots slip against Buffalo (9-4) and Baltimore (6-7), Love would have a shot at MVP. But with his "humble" attitude, does Love really want to "accept" that title? Or is he sacrificing personally to save the Packers from the "tough phase"? The 2025 NFL drama is "hotter than ever"! Do you think Love is "playing a trick" to motivate the team? Comment now and follow for the "shocking" outcome of the MVP race!
