Jalen Alexander Hurts (born August 7, 1998) is an American professional football quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles of the National Football League (NFL).

Hurts began his college football career with the Alabama Crimson Tide, leading the team to consecutive College Football Playoff National Championship appearances in 2016 and 2017. He spent one season as Alabama's backup quarterback in 2018, after being benched by Nick Saban during Alabama's victory in the 2017 championship game. He played his final season with the Oklahoma Sooners, also leading them to an appearance in the 2019–20 College Football Playoff.

Selected by the Eagles in the second round of the 2020 NFL draft, Hurts became their starter near the end of his rookie season. Hurts had a breakout season in 2022, leading the Eagles to their conference's top seed and an appearance in Super Bowl LVII, earning him Pro Bowl and second-team All-Pro honors.

In the 2024 season, Hurts led the Eagles to victory in Super Bowl LIX, winning Super Bowl MVP and becoming the first Eagles quarterback to make multiple Super Bowl appearances and the fourth Black quarterback to win the Super Bowl. He is also one of only four starting quarterbacks to ever win a Super Bowl and an NCAA National Championship, along with Ken Stabler, Joe Namath, and Joe Montana.
