No matter the outcome of the Kansas City Chiefs vs the Philadelphia Eagles on February 12, the game is sure to make it into the history books.
The Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, alongside the Chiefs' quarterback Patrick Mahomes, will make history as the first two black quarterbacks to start in the same Super Bowl.
Each captain of their team, they spoke about their triumphs during the media even on Monday night in Phoenix.

Hurts said: “It lays the foundation for what’s to come.
“So many kids that have been told to change their position now know that it can be done’."
Mahomes added: “So many people have laid the foundation before. And to be playing with a guy like Jalen — who I know is doing it the right way? It’s going to be a special moment — that I hope lives on forever.”

Jalen joined the Eagles in 2020, making his NFL debut. If you want to learn a little more about the superstar, you’re in the right place.
What is Jalen Hurts’ net worth?

Whilst most American footballers of a certain calibre splash out on million dollar luxury mansions, Hurts remains humble and rents a small apartment in Philadelphia when he is training, and lives with his parents three-bedroom house when he is home in Houston.
Who is Jalen Hurts’ girlfriend?
The Eagles quarterback went public with his girlfriend Bryonna Rivera Burrows after winning the NFC Championship in January.

Hurts and Burrows first crossed paths at the University of Alabama, and Bryonna graduated in 2017 with a bachelor’s degree in Spanish and political science.
The announcement of their relationship has broken the hearts of any potential suitors, but we’re sure that Miss Burrows will be making an appearance on February 12 at the Super Bowl.
