Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts made a statement at the team's Halloween party by dressing up as the janitor version of Morgan Freeman's God character from the 2003 film Bruce Almighty.
Hurts' costume, which included a mop and overalls, initially led fans to believe he was portraying Mr. Johnson, the janitor from the ABC sitcom Abbott Elementary, due to the similar outfit and prop.
However, upon closer inspection, subtle nods to the film character confirmed that Hurts was indeed paying tribute to Freeman's iconic role.
