With the recent popularity of look-alike contests for celebrities and athletes, Philadelphia Eagles fans brought their own event together this year with a Jalen Hurts-themed contest on Sunday. After voting by both the crowd and event hosts Morgan Blagman, Gaëlle Mardy, and Christiane Mushagasha, Qualeleb Monfiston, 29, of Pennsauken, New Jersey, was crowned the winner.
Questions in the voting process ranged from “What do you think of the passing game?” to “Are you single?” Monfiston was crowned winner with a grand prize of free coffee for a year at Dunkin’ Donuts, two free tickets to Sunday’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and a Hurts special treat: crayfish-flavored Lay’s chips.
The event drew roughly 150 people to Rittenhouse Square in downtown Philadelphia just hours before Hurts and the rest of the Eagles took the field for their home game.
Hurts-inspired looks weren’t the only familiar faces around Philly this weekend, with a Jason Kelce contest bringing fans together on Saturday. Take a look at a few of our favorite moments from the square full of Jalen Hurts imitators.
