For the first time in history, arguably the biggest professional sports game will have teams led by African American players. This year’s Super Bowl will be the first time ever that both teams will feature African American quarterbacks. Jalen Hurts will lead his Philadelphia Eagles against Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. The first African American quarterback in the Super Bowl was Doug Williams who led the Washington Commanders (then under their old name) to a victory 35 years ago.
