Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts will be the first pairing of Black starting quarterbacks in Super Bowl history.

Hurts employs a Black woman agent, Nicole Lynn, who is now the first Black woman to represent a quarterback of any race in the Super Bowl. Mahomes, who became the third Black starting quarterback to win a Super Bowl in 2020, is setting a new standard for what an elite quarterback looks like.

A year later, the New York Giants started a Black quarterback for the first time in franchise history, becoming the last NFL team to do so. It was just six years ago that another Black quarterback to start in a Super Bowl, Colin Kaepernick, was banished from the league for protesting police brutality against Black people.
