Philadelphia Eagles quarterbackJalen Hurtsmight be the best gift giver in the NFL.
Hurts, 25, got a special shout-out from his teammatesJason KelceandJordan Mailataafter gifting them their “first-ever” Louis Vuitton duffel bags.
During the episode, Mailata and Jason discussed their relationship with Hurts when Travis, 34, said, “I know he got Jason his first-ever Louis Vuitton duffel bag.”
Jason confirmed that Hurts was the one who gifted him the duffel bag and said, “That was amazing.”
Mailata agreed and added, “Yeah, that was cool,” and added, “I’m not a big designer guy, but when we got those for Christmas, I was like, you know what…that’s not bad.”

Travis asked Mailata what he should get for his brother that would be as well-received as Hurts' lavish gift.
The Chiefs star asked, “Is Jason a big birthday guy in the locker room? Does he let everybody know it’s his birthday? Does he just walk in with his birthday suit on?”
Mailata then poked fun at Jason’s controversial partiality to sandals, saying, “It’s not cold out yet so there’s still a couple of weeks left with the sandals,” referencing the signature slides Jason has been spotted wearing during multiple public appearances.
In September, Travis called out his brother for wearing sandals to the premiere of his Amazon Prime documentary,Kelce.

“You really got dressed up,” Travis said sarcastically during a September episode ofNew Heights.Jason explained that his wife, Kylie Kelce, had been running late to the premiere, leaving him no time to change into a different outfit after practice.
And during the recent segment with Mailata, Travis joked that he’s going to have “jeans sent to the facility” for Jason so he “never has to rely on Kylie” to bring him jeans ever again.

Jason agreed, adding, “I’m right there with you, and I think that me, you and Lane get put on the face of the album, but there are so many musicians. It’s really fun watching that go from nothing to something.”
When LaBelle recorded a collaboration with Mailata, the Eagles tackle said it was “nerve-wracking” to sing “in front of a great” like LaBelle.
