To no one’s surprise, Angels star outfielder Mike Trout is riding with the hometown Eagles in Super Bowl LVII.
During an interview from the dugout on Sunday Night Baseball, the three-time MVP let it be known the Lombardi is Philly’s for the taking.
“You guys know I’m a huge Eagles fan,” Trout shrugged. “So, I’m picking them to win the Super Bowl, you know that.”
The Eagles had a heck of an offseason on paper; trading for Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown, signing pass rusher Haason Reddick and drafting Georgia standout Nakobe Dean.
That, paired with a wide-open NFC East division has Philly fans eyeing a deep postseason run.
Much of that will depend on the arm (and legs) of Jalen Hurts, who made a number of plays for the Eagles last season, but will need to be more consistent throwing the ball for the team to capture a second Super Bowl title.
Hurts has seemingly everything else a team would want in its franchise QB. If he can continue to improve in the passing game, it could make for a very happy Mike Trout.
