Over only three seasons in his NFL career, Jalen Hurts showcased his realm of dominance. Only last season, he clinched the top spot in the NFC, then became the runner-up champs against the Chiefs. Right there and then, it was undoubtedly certain that the Eagles would want the Pro Bowler in their team, in seasons to come. A whopping $255 million-dollar deal extension was signed, adding to his already impressive lineup of brand endorsements.
Surprisingly, a few months later, a massive new endorsement emerges, along with Broncos‘ HC, Sean Payton. The deal involves no other than the 6x NBA champ, Michael Jordan, who already has two other NFL stars in his payroll.

The impressive 5-year extension has already put the Pro Bowler ahead of Patrick Mahomes by a $6 million annual margin, despite losing Lombardy to him. He also landed major deals with big-name brands like Pepsi, Gillette, Lemon Perfect, Oikis Protein, and more, amassing a net worth of $30 million at just the age of 25.
