The Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts remains unfazed by recent NFL rankings that overlooked his contributions.
Now serving as the face of Jordan Brand’s NFL roster, Hurts continues building his influence following his Super Bowl MVP performance.
His relationship with basketball legend Michael Jordan has deepened significantly throughout this offseason.
Hurts recently attended the exclusive Jumpman “Board of Greatness” gathering in Athens, Greece, where he joined elite athletes from across the sports world.
A photo from the event captured Hurts seated beside Jordan himself, both engaged in what appeared to be an animated and enjoyable conversation.
“Jalen Hurts and the great Michael Jordan were spotted together in Greece. Hurts and Jordan have become very close this offseason. Two legends of their respective sports,” Dov Kleiman shared.

The star-studded gathering featured an impressive roster, including Los Angeles Lakers’ Luka Doncic, Carmelo Anthony, Maya Moore, Paolo Banchero, and Miami Heat’s Bam Adebayo, among others.
This marks another chapter in the growing friendship between Hurts and the NBA icon.
The pair previously dined together in Palm Beach earlier this year, with Hurts openly crediting Jordan’s guidance for helping him navigate his rising stardom while staying grounded.
The Athens event centered on collaborative sessions focused on greatness and Jordan Brand’s evolving identity.
Attendees received ultra-rare Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Board of Greatness” sneakers, with only 180 pairs produced, symbolizing their exclusive status within the brand’s inner circle.
Hurts reportedly even earned praise throughout the gathering for his leadership qualities and commanding presence.
Jordan Brand strategically positioned Hurts alongside basketball legends and emerging icons, demonstrating his expanding influence beyond football.
His role as a brand ambassador continues growing as he bridges the gap between NFL excellence and global athletic stardom.
