Super Bowl-winning quarterback Jalen Hurts is releasing a children's book next year.

Hurts announced the new work on social media on Monday, posting a photo of the cover on X.

It's called "Better Than a Touchdown" and is set to be released March 10.


According to a synopsis of the book posted to Bookshop.org, "Better Than a Touchdown" is "an empowering story about friendship, the power of teamwork, and achieving goals together."

The book was illustrated by Canadian artist Nneka Myers.

Hurts, 26, is a two-time Pro Bowl selection. He led the Philadelphia Eagles to a 40-22 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX in February.
