Other figures on this year’s list included former PresidentIn his tribute to Hurts, Jeter, who won five World Series titles, praised the quarterback for rebounding from his team’s Super Bowl LVII loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, winning his first Vince Lombardi Trophy and earning MVP honors in Super Bowl LIX.
“This past February, Jalen found himself on the Super Bowl stage again,” Jeter said. “This time he led Philadelphia to a convincing victory in its rematch with Kansas City. We connected shortly after, and the only thing he asked about was insight on going back and winning again. Sometimes people win, then exhale. Jalen is not exhaling. He’s embracing the next challenge. Win or lose, Jalen’s resilience and determination offer all of us something to admire.” Speaking to Jeter was not the first encounter Hurts has had with a player who has won multiple championships. Hurts met with former Chicago Bulls guard Michael Jordan this offseason. Hurts is looking to become the ninth quarterback to win back-to-back Super Bowls in NFL history, joining Bart Starr of the Green Bay Packers, Brian Griese of the Miami Dolphins, Terry Bradshaw of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Joe Montana of the San Francisco 49ers, Troy Aikman of the Dallas Cowboys, John Elway of the Denver Broncos, Tom Brady of the New England Patriots andFive takeaways from Howie Roseman’s pre-draft press conference: Will Eagles make a big trade?How Eagles’ decision to put playmaker on trade block will affect draft plans Thank you for relying on us to provide the journalism you can trust.
