Hurts' affection for Michael Jordan is no secret. He partnered with Jordan Brand in 2023. He wears Jordan cleats. During the Super Bowl parade, he wore a "Love, Hurts" hoodie. One of the photos after the Super Bowl win was Jordan-esque, featuring Hurts sitting in the hallway with the Lombardi Trophy in front of him while he smoked a cigar.

Except Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts. The Eagles posted several pictures of Hurts with various teammates and coaches − one with Eagles CEO and chairman Jeffrey Lurie and head coach Nick Sirianni, another with retired edge rusher Brandon Graham. Hurts is not wearing his ring in any of them.

Hurts provided a resounding answer, though, while throwing for five touchdowns and running for five touchdowns during the team's postseason run. He led the Eagles to a dominant 40-22 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs with the Lombardi Trophy hanging in the balance and took home the Super Bowl LIX MVP in the process.
