I read that GQ article, too. Did you feel like the interviewer missed something?

I definitely think there was a real opportunity here to merge the fashion and sports worlds a little more. A few sharper, more unexpected questions could’ve made this feel distinctly GQ instead of something that could’ve run in any sports outlet. Curious to know, what did you think about it?

Yes! Exactly. You should have done it. It needed a Hurts fan who could talk about something beyond football (or even, you know, talk about the children's book, which could, in turn, show something about his character). I thought Jalen even sounded disappointed with the interview (there was a reason they chose GQ after all). My overall sense was that it didn't reveal anything new or really accomplish anything other than fawning. To be totally honest, I thought a woman should have done the interview.

aw that means a lot. i agree, the interview wasn’t anything new and Jalen’s comment towards the end definitely hinted that he wanted it to go differently. i feel like it also isn’t that common for him to do external interviews outside of press so it feels like a missed opportunity in a way.
