Jalen Hurts Listed in Time100 Most Influential People of 2025: Roll Call, April 17, 2025

Former Alabama standout and reigning Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl MVP quarterback Jalen Hurts was named to the prestigious Time100 Most Influential People of 2025 list on Wednesday.

Hurts helped lead six other Crimson Tide products to their first Super Bowl ring: 2020 Heisman Trophy-winning wide receiver DeVonta Smith, three-time Pro Bowl left guard Landon Dickerson, offensive lineman Tyler Steen, tight end Cameron Latu, defensive lineman Byron Young and cornerback Eli Ricks.

Hurts is one of just six athletes in this year's Time100, as he joins Simone Biles, Serena Williams, Breanna Stewart, Napheesa Collier and Leon Marchand.

Hurts was endorsed for the list by five-time World Series champion and baseball Hall of Famer Derek Jeter.

"I admire how great athletes deal with both success and failure," Jeter wrote .

"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 didnt 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.

Hes embracing the next challenge.

Win or lose, Jalens resilience and determination offer all of us something to admire." The two-time NFL Pro Bowler spent three years at Alabama and was the starter in his freshman and sophomore seasons, compiling an overall record of 27-2.

In those two years, he combined for 4,861 passing yards and 40 touchdown passes.

Hurts also ran for 1,809 rushing yards and 21 touchdowns.

After being benched for Tua Tagovailoa, he transferred to Oklahoma and was a finalist for the 2019 Heisman Trophy.
