Jalen Hurts is riding high after his first Super Bowl ring with the Philadelphia Eagles. Now, the former contributor at Alabama and Oklahoma received a special distinction on Wednesday.
The star quarterback was named among TIME’s list of 100 Most Influential People of 2025. Hurts was 1 of just 6 athletes to be included in the list, and he was the only American football player included in the list. (The other athletes are Simone Biles, Serena Williams, Breanna Stewart, Napheesa Collier and Leon Marchand.)

A tribute to Hurts was penned by MLB Hall of Famer and former New York Yankees star Derek Jeter:
I admire how great athletes deal with both success and failure. What Jalen Hurts went through in being benched during the 2018 National Championship game would break a lot of people down. But not Jalen; he focused on what he could control and found a new path to success. In the NFL, Jalen didn’t let a Super Bowl defeat in 2023 shake his confidence. He used that loss as motivation and kept a picture of himself walking off the field after losing as his phone lock screen.
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.
Hurts has become one of the most consistent quarterbacks in the entire NFL over the past 3 seasons, posting a 37-10 overall regular season record and with 2 trips to the Super Bowl in that time period. This past season, Hurts shone alongside star running back Saquon Barkley in leading the Eagles to a Super Bowl title.
