Hurts' connection to Jordan is well known. He kept a photo of Jordan in his locker during the lead-up to his last Super Bowl appearance two years ago. Hurts is also one of the NFL’s most prominent Jordan Brand athletes. But his connection to Jeter (who also was a Jordan Brand athlete when he was a player) is less well known.

Jalen Hurts notably keeps the screensaver on his phone as a picture from his loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII. The picture is one of Hurts walking off the field following the Philadelphia Eagles' 38-35 loss as the Chiefs' red and yellow confetti rained out in celebration of their victory.
