PHOENIX — Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts stands on the powerful throwing shoulders of others. Long before he became part of the first Super Bowl to be played between two Black starting quarterbacks — Patrick Mahomes will be in shotgun for the Chiefs on Sunday — Hurts reached out to them.
For 28 years, the Eagles started a Black quarterback for at least part of the season: Randall Cunningham (1985-95), Rodney Peete (1995-98), Donovan McNabb (1999-2009) and Michael Vick (2009-13).
