When Hurts takes the field for the Eagles in two weeks, it will be the 10th time a quarterback drafted in the second round will start a Super Bowl.
The following second-round quarterbacks have started in the Super Bowl: Raiders’ Kenny Stabler (XI), Eagles’ Ron Jaworski (XV), Bengals’ Boomer Esiason (XXIII), Packers’ Brett Favre (XXXI, XXXII), Saints’ Drew Brees (XLIV), 49ers’ Colin Kaepernick (XLVII), 49ers’ Jimmy Garoppolo (LIV), Eagles’ Jalen Hurts (LVII, LIX).
Only three of those eight quarterbacks have won Super Bowls: Stabler, Favre (XXXI), and Brees.
Stabler and the John Madden-coached Raiders defeated the Minnesota Vikings 32-14 to win Super Bowl XI. Stabler completed 12 of 19 es for 180 yards and one touchdown.
Favre led the Packers to a 35-21 victory over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XXXI. Favre, who won the regular-season MVP, completed 14 of 27 es for 246 yards and two touchdowns. Favre also rushed for one touchdown.
Brees and the Saints pulled off the shocking upset over the Indianapolis Colts in Super Bowl XLIV. Brees completed 32 of 39 es for 288 yards and two touchdowns in the 31-17 victory.
Brees was named Super Bowl XLIV MVP.

In his fourth year as the full-time starter, Hurts has the Eagles in their second Super Bowl in three seasons.
Hurts and the Eagles previously faced the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII.
In that game, Hurts lit up the stat sheet, completing 27 of 38 es for 304 yards and one touchdown. Hurts also rushed for 70 yards and three touchdowns.
However, the Eagles came up short, losing 38-35.
Hurts and the Eagles will have a shot at redemption when they face the Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX on Feb. 9.
