Despite their current rivalry in the NFC East, Jalen Hurts and CeeDee Lamb are similar in that they are both Oklahoma Sooners.
Lamb attended Oklahoma from 2017 to 2019 before departing to play in the NFL, where the Dallas Cowboys selected him in the first round of the 2020 draft. After transferring to Oklahoma for the 2019 campaign, Jalen Hurts was selected by the Philadelphia Eagles in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft.
These days, the two guys are division rivals and stars for their respective NFL clubs. After their teams’ game on Sunday, though, they bonded on one thing: they detested Texas.
After Sunday’s game, SportsCenter posted a picture of the players together to their X account on Wednesday. They were both making the hand gesture known as “Horns Down,” which denotes anti-Texas Longhorns prejudice.
Indeed, their shared distaste for Texas will always exist. In contrast to college, at least they are not punished in the NFL for doing the Horns Down. If nothing else, at least they avoid punishment for doing it after the game.
