I’m convinced he’s on the autism spectrum. He spoke about emotions and the reporter said something to the effect of “that sounds very 3rd person like you are outside yourself”. That’s a pretty common experience for people on the spectrum. There are some other traits he shows as well. I think his personality is perfect for Philly. Now he just needs to learn to throw between the numbers.

He doesn’t look comfortable in interviews. I think his responses were very measured, as in he tried to make sure everything he said was non-confrontational. On another note, the dude looks like he could be a GQ model. Wonder if they ever spoke to him about a session.

Very well could be. Not all autism looks the same. Some are non verbal. Some are verbal. Some stem. Wouldn’t shock me at all if he was.

I think there’s something there. Not something bad but I’ve seen similar with other athletes like Kawhi Leonard.

You are not the first person that has said that. I have a buddy who is an Eagles fan and a therapist and he has said the same thing. That he definitely has some sort of social disorder.

Wow, you are right about Kawhi.

He threw between the numbers well enough to play in 2 Super Bowls. Win one and lead his team to scoring the most combined points in a NFC Championshop Game and a Super Bowl in NFL history. Also has a pretty high qb rating and accuracy % when throwing to the middle of the field.

I doubt, someone on the spectrum with his athletic ability would be able to read a defense. They typically test very high in pattern recognition.

Could be, actually.

And I agree. Hurts is a good Philly fit, and I'm not trying to be cute and say he sucks or something stupid.

Hurts can handle the scrutiny. And that's one thing that people here tend to forget about being the QB of the Dallas Cowboys, too. Both Dak and Jalen don't have the luxury of just going out there and being a QB-- they have to handle a relentless fanbase or an immense spotlight. They don't get to be Justin Herbert who is just one of two QBs in the same city.

I get the joke, but it's called a spectrum for a reason. Wildly varying experiences.

I wonder how his blackjack game is.

So...athletes are still human after all?

They are. Not sure why you thought they weren’t.

That would make me a fan of him for his accomplishments if that was the case.

I've always respected him as a person. Humble. Never gets rattled or retaliates. Gets pulled for Tua (which was the right move) in the National Championship. Takes it like a man and doesn't whine or complain. I was happy he won a Super Bowl, even though he plays a hated rival. He appears to have his head on straight.

I mean.....not me. IF he came out and was a advocate or something then yeah i'd have no choice but to love it. I've worked with a lot of autistic children in the past. I'm amazed at how brilliant they are. I use to say they all have their own special power. Some are great with numbers and at math.....some are great with detail....I'll never forget when I worked with a child who was nonverbal....but he could sing. He could emulate the music he listened to and his parents had him listening to classical music and opera.

My son is autistic so trying to understand what it may look like when he's older I decided one day to look up people we may know who have it. Ran into Armani Williams.

Armani Williams is the first professional stock car driver in NASCAR to be openly diagnosed on the autism spectrum. [1, 2]
