Eagles' Jalen Hurts and Philly chef "Nok" Suntaranon make TIME100
Philadelphia Eagles QB Jalen Hurts and James Beard Award-winning Philly chef Chutatip "Nok" Suntaranon made the TIME100 list.
Driving the news: Hurts got the nod as an "Icon" on the annual list of the world's most influential people, while Suntaranon was listed among "Innovators."
Zoom out: The TIME100 list, released Wednesday, tells us about the forces shaping our lives, the magazine says.
It includes 16 CEOs, six members of the Trump administration, a French swimmer and Snoop Dogg.
Zoom in: Hurts led the Eagles to a Super Bowl win in February by dismantling the Kansas City Chiefs and avenging Philly's 2023 loss.
Suntaranon, who owns the popular Kalaya restaurant in Fishtown, was recently featured on Netflix, and she released a recipe book late last year.
Worth noting: Artist Mickalene Thomas, a Camden native, was also included on the TIME100 list.
What they're saying: Derek Jeter, the former New York Yankee and five-time World Series champ, wrote for Time that Hurts used his failures as motivation and is embracing the next challenge after his Super Bowl win.
"Win or lose, Jalen's resilience and determination offer all of us something to admire," Jeter wrote.
Michael Solomonov, the chef and restaurant entrepreneur who's part of the team behind Zahav and other hit spots, wrote that Nok's "Thai cuisine embodies everything she's gone through and everything she's worked for."

And the Emmy goes to … Trea Turner? Documentary on Philadelphia Phillies star's ovation wins award.
PHILADELPHIA — And the Emmy goes to … Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner? Turner already won an NL batting title and a World Series championship ring in his 11-year MLB career. How about adding an Emmy Award to that trophy case? 'Trea Turner's an Emmy winner, absolutely,' sports documentary producer Kyle Thrash said. 'He definitely held it up like he owned it.' Turner may not actually have the award in hand to keep for good, but he got to hoist the real deal ahead of Friday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays in a short celebration for the Emmy won for a best sports short documentary produced on the 2023 standing ovation credited with turning around his season. 'The Turnaround' won a sports Emmy in May, and Thrash and Phillies fan Jon McCann — whose personal struggles with mental health and kinship with Turner were the heart of the film — attended the game to show off their new bling to Turner. 'Cuz, we did it, huh?' McCann said as he shook Turner's hand on the field after batting practice. 'Trea Turner, we share an Emmy together.' Turner read the inscription at the bottom of the Emmy and promised fans he would wave to them in section 301 if he stole a base in Friday's game. 'We get to bring a trophy back to the ballpark tonight and share it with so many people that were involved in the standing ovation. It's pretty incredible,' Thrash said. Philly sports fans — often billed as some of the worst in sports — gave a slumping Turner standing ovations in at-bats throughout the weekend in an August 2023 series to show he had their full support. Turner was in the first season of an 11-year, $300 million deal with the Phillies but was batting just .238 with 11 home runs and 39 RBIs. He was even dropped to eighth in the batting order headed into that series against the Royals. In three games over the weekend against the Royals, Turner went 4-for-12 with two doubles, a home run and five RBIs and he would eventually help lead the Phillies to the playoffs. Turner later helped pay for 'Thank You, Philly' digital billboards in the greater Philadelphia area. The documentary was produced by Higher Ground, the media company founded by former President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama McCann, also known as 'The Philly Captain,' is a Philadelphia based YouTuber and was one of the fans — along with a Philly sports talk radio host — credited with rallying the fans to get behind Turner. 'During the ceremony, one of the award presenters said, 'When you go up against the Olympics, you lose.' So I kind of thought we already lost,' McCann said. 'We didn't. It was a great, great shock.'
