Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts had the game of his life in Super Bowl LIX against the Kansas City Chiefs. He was outstanding in the NFC Championship Game against the Washington Commanders but saved his finest performance for last.

Hurts' connection to Jordan is well known. He kept a photo of Jordan in his locker during the lead-up to his last Super Bowl appearance two years ago. Hurts is also one of the NFL’s most prominent Jordan Brand athletes. But his connection to Jeter (who also was a Jordan Brand athlete when he was a player) is less well known.

Before he was a Super Bowl champion with the Philadelphia Eagles, Jalen Hurts battled plenty of adversity in his football career in college and the pros.
