GQ Debuts One More Question With Rare Jalen Hurts Interview

An unusually long offsite conversation showcased Hurts' deeds-first leadership, revealing he and A.J. Brown "clearly" grew apart.

Overview

  • GQ launched its weekly show One More Question and published the premiere interview with Jalen Hurts on Tuesday, September 1, 2026.
  • The conversation was filmed in Philadelphia in June and included informal segments on the Art Museum steps and shooting pool at the Fitler Club, which Baron says made it one of Hurts' longest interviews.
  • In the interview Hurts acknowledged that he and A.J. Brown "clearly" grew apart and framed his approach as prioritizing the team's collective mission over individual prominence.
  • A Yahoo Sports analysis characterizes Hurts as a deed-focused, often reserved leader and suggests that tension between that style and Brown's desire for a more focal offensive role helped prompt Brown's offseason trade, noting this is interpretation rather than new factual proof.
  • The episode is notable chiefly for its rare access to Hurts and for sparking renewed attention to how his low‑verbal, win-first leadership style shapes Eagles chemistry and how reporters and teammates read his signals.
