Former Alabama quarterback [autotag]Jalen Hurts[/autotag] took the NFL by storm in 2022 as he finished runner-up in the MVP race to Patrick Mahomes and also led the Eagles to the Super Bowl where they lost against, you guessed it, Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. Heading into the 2023 season, Hurts is widely regarded as one of the five best signal callers in the league.
Hurts is most known for his rushing abilities as he carried the ball 165 times for 760 yards and 13 touchdowns last season. However, it was his growth in the passing game that turned heads. Hurts completed a remarkable 66.5% of his passes for 3,701 yards and 22 touchdowns with only six interceptions. His remarkable growth last season resulted in a mega-contract worth $255 million over five years, which made him the highest-paid player in NFL history for 10 days.
As if the contract wasn’t enough to set Hurts up for life, he signed a brand deal with Jordan. Hurts will now wear Jordan cleats for all games as well as various apparel, it is definitely one of the coolest deals any athlete can sign.
Eagles’ QB Jalen Hurts officially has partnered with Brand Jordan. The deal was negotiated by Joe D'Amelio, VP of Football Marketing at @klutchsportsgroup. Another deal for Hurts.
