Jalen Hurts can be first starting quarterback from Houston to win a Super Bowl
Philadelphia Eagles player Jalen Hurts celebrates after the victory in the NFC Championship against the 49ers at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, on Jan. 29, 2023.Houston area high school football is so flush with talent, it's hard for anyone to break new ground and do something that no one else from the city has ever done. Jalen Hurts will have that opportunity at Super Bowl LVII in two weeks.
Despite the high school football prowess across the state, only four quarterbacks from Texas — Drew Brees , Nick Foles , Patrick Mahomes and Matthew Stafford — have ever even started in the Super Bowl. All four of those guys have won Super Bowls, and now with an all-Texas quarterback matchup this year, the Lone Star State will add another ring
Gary Kubiak, the former St. Pius X star from Houston, played in two Super Bowls with the Broncos as John Elway's backup.where he was the District 21-6A MVP. He also was on the school's powerlifting team where he squatted 570 pounds as a 16-year-old, which gets brought up by announcers in nearly every Eagles game. Hurt signed with Alabama out of high school where he played three seasons before transferring to Oklahoma for his final season of college.
The Eagles drafted Hurts in the second round in 2020 and he became the starter late in his rookie season. Despite missing two games with a shoulder injury this season, Hurts threw for 3,701 yards with 22 touchdowns and six interceptions. In Sunday's NFC championship game rout of the 49ers, the 24-year-old was 15-for-25 for 121 yards.
