Jalen Hurts

Quarterback · Oklahoma

Super Bowl LIX MVP who set the QB rushing record in two different Super Bowls.

Jalen Hurts won Super Bowl LIX in February 2025 by going 17-of-22 for 221 yards, two passing touchdowns, and 72 rushing yards in a 40-22 demolition of Kansas City. The rushing total broke his own Super Bowl record for a quarterback, set two years earlier in LVII. He's now the centerpiece of an Eagles team that opens 2026 with the easiest first-place schedule in football.

Path to the league

Started for Alabama as a freshman and reached the national title game twice. Lost his job to Tua Tagovailoa, transferred to Oklahoma for his final year, finished second in the Heisman race in 2019. Eagles drafted him 53rd overall in 2020. Took over for Carson Wentz late in his rookie year and has held the job since.

Career highlights

Super Bowl LIX champion and MVP. Holds the record for most rushing yards by a quarterback in a single Super Bowl (72), having previously set it at 70 in Super Bowl LVII. Two-time Pro Bowler, two-time NFC Champion. Career-high passer rating and yards per attempt in 2024 with just five interceptions on 361 attempts.

2024 season recap

Hurts handed off a lot, because Saquon Barkley turned in an All-Pro 2,005-yard season behind a dominant Eagles line. His pass volume dropped, his efficiency spiked, and Philadelphia ran the table in the postseason. Hurts' Super Bowl line is the gold standard for game management plus mobility.

What to watch in 2026

Philadelphia drew the easiest first-place schedule in the league by 2025 records. The catch is a brutal December run through Seattle, Houston and at San Francisco. Hurts is 28 in August and under contract through 2028. Repeat or bust isn't quite the phrase, but the Eagles are built to win now and the offensive coordinator turnover is the only real wild card.
