Former Alabama QB Jalen Hurts partners with Brand Jordan

Jalen Hurts lands a massive brand deal with Jordan!

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.

Michael Thomas previews custom Jordan cleats celebrating his 2019 season

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas is a superstar, and he knows it. He celebrates his many catches with a quick biceps flex and signal for a first down, and takes pride in the hard work he’s put in to accomplish goals like earning the award as 2019’s Offensive Player of the Year.

Thomas also earned recognition from one of his top sponsors — Nike’s Jordan brand sneakers, who sent him an outstanding pair of new sneakers celebrating last season’s achievements. The cleats are are stylized in white, black, and gold, and feature details such as his NFL-record 149 receptions in a single season and famous Twitter handle (@cantguardmike). See them for yourself:

We can expect Thomas to put these on display somewhere in his home, likely in his crowded trophy case, but the jury’s out on whether he’ll wear them into a game. The Jordan brand ambassador has made a habit of gifting sneakers to coaches and teammates, with Saints head coach Sean Payton wearing them during the Zurich Classic golf tournament. But Thomas outdid himself last season by landing a shipment of sneakers for the entire Saints locker room.
