Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts will be the first Black QBs to face off in a Super Bowl.
It's fitting that a season which began with 11 Black QBs starting in Week 1 will end with a historic matchup.
Donovan McNabb, a six-time Pro Bowl QB who started five NFC championship games for the Eagles, was told by some college scouts that he had to play running back or wide receiver. He wouldn't switch positions, went to Syracuse to play quarterback and was drafted No. 2 overall in 1999 by Philadelphia. Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts reacts after the NFC Championship game between the Eagles and the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, Jan. 29, 2023, in Philadelphia.He clearly has not forgotten that the decision to draft him in the second round of the 2020 draft was widely criticized by reporters and fans.
