Eagles QB Jalen Hurts has formed a friendship with Derek Jeter that centers around winning

[ASFN Admin]

Jalen Hurts is a Super Bowl MVP, and since winning the trophy, the Eagles quarterback has been spotted having dinner with Michael Jordan and forging a newfound relationship with legendary Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter.

Hurts was named to TIME's '100 Most Influential' list as an icon and got the stamp of approval from Jeter, who said this about the Eagles star.

This past February, Jalen found himself on the Super Bowl stage again. 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.

Jeter is a five-time World Series champion and baseball Hall of Famer. Hurts has newfound mentors in Jordan and Jeter, the Yankees legend, who can only do wonders for the Philadelphia Eagles over the next decade.

Other sports figures on Time's list include Léon Marchand, Serena Williams, Simone Biles, Breanna Stewart, and Napheesa Collier.
