Jalen Hurts-A.J. Brown relationship: Eagles’ Brandon Graham says ‘they were friends, but things have changed’

For the second consecutive year, there appears to be tension between Jalen Hurts and A.J. Brown that is affecting the Philadelphia Eagles locker room. Forget the fact that the Eagles are 11-2 and won nine games in a row, sitting as one of the four teams that have 11-plus wins in the NFL. 

Brandon Graham, one of the team captains on the Eagles and someone who is always a straight shooter, revealed that there’s tension between Hurts and Brown that has been lasting for a while. This is more than just football. 

“I don’t know the whole story, but I know that 1 (Hurts) is trying. 11 (Brown) could be a little better with how he responds to things. They were friends, but things have changed,” Graham said on SportsRadio WIP on Monday night. “And I understand that because life happens. But (on) the business side, we got to make sure we don’t let the personal get in the way of the business. 

“And that’s what we need to do better.”

Hurts and Brown are at the forefront of drama that emerged after Sunday’s 22-16 victory over the Carolina Panthers, when the Eagles wide receiver was frustrated over the pass offense. This came on a day when Hurts finished with 108 yards passing, giving him just 226 over the past two games.
