Youngest Starting QBs in Super Bowl History

When Jalen Hurts takes his first snap for the Eagles during Super Bowl LVII, he will become the seventh-youngest quarterback to start a Super Bowl. At just over 24 years and six months old, Hurts will join a small group of signal-callers to play in the Big Game this early in their careers.

Dan Marino remains the youngest quarterback to start in a Super Bowl at 23 years and 127 days, while Ben Roethlisberger is the only other QB to start the game at age 23, doing so 28 days short of his 24th birthday.

From there, David Woodley started for the Dolphins two years before Marino in 1983 at 24 years and 97 days old. In 2019 and 2020, respectively, Jared Goff and Patrick Mahomes joined the top-five youngest, as Goff was 24 years and 112 days old and Mahomes was 24 years and 138 days old.
