Youngest Quarterbacks to Start a Super Bowl
The list of youngest quarterbacks to start a Super Bowl in NFL history has added some new names in recent years, but Dan Marino still stands supreme. At just 23 years and 127 days old, Marino set the record for youngest QB to ever start a SB game when he led the Miami Dolphins into Super Bowl XIX. Unfortunately, Miami was handled easily by the San Francisco 49ers, 38-16, in that contest.
Philadelphia Eagles QB Jalen Hurts is set to become the seventh-youngest starting quarterback in Super Bowl history on Feb. 12, 2023 against the Kansas City Chiefs. He will be just 24 years and 189 days old in SB 57, slotting him in-between Tom Brady (24 years, 184 days) and Drew Bledsoe (24 years, 347 days) all-time.
