Synopsis

From Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts comes an empowering story about friendship, the power of teamwork, and achieving goals together.

Jalen is so excited for the new school year because this is the year he’ll finally get to try out for the football team! But when he arrives at school, he learns the unthinkable—that the football team has been cut. He and his friends are devastated. But Jalen isn’t ready to give up, and with some advice from some friends, maybe—just maybe—they can save the day.

Better than a Touchdown is a love letter to the power of community, being there for one another, and how a piece of good advice can change the course of a day. Told with Jalen’s signature wisdom, Better than a Touchdown carries a message we can all learn from: that by working together, there’s nothing we can’t accomplish.

Goodreads review by Beth on March 08, 2026

I like Jalen Hurts as an athlete but this book reads like it was written by AI. It has no soul or personality to it. I know that celebrity books are almost always ghost-written but even ghost-written books tend to have some personality, which this book completely misses the mark on.......more
