Super Bowl MVP Jalen Hurts was a notable absence during the Philadelphia Eagles' visit to the White House on Monday as the team celebrated their NFL championship win with President Trump.

The president praised the team while a sea of Eagles fans wearing green filled the White House lawn. The president called out members of the offensive and defensive lines, as well as the coach Nick Sirianni.

“We’ve seen a lot of great teams but they don’t ever get to where you’ve already gotten. And you’re a young guy, coach. I’d like to be his manager right now. Pick up my little 10 percent for doing nothing,” Trump quipped.

“Let me just say, fly Eagles fly!” he added.

The crowd, which included Sen. Dave McCormick (R-Pa.) and other members of the Pennsylvania delegation, cheered along. They sang the “fly Eagles fly” fight song while the team emerged from the White House for the event.
