Broncos Cornerback Pat Surtain II Signs with Jordan Brand
When star Broncos cornerback Pat Surtain II lines up against Titans wideout Calvin Ridley in Denver’s season opener against Tennessee, he’ll be jamming him up at the line in a new pair of cleats. Surtain II is the latest NFL player to sign a deal with Jordan Brand, joining stars like Jalen Hurts, Puka Nacua, and Maxx Crosby.
Surtain II and Jordan Brand officially announced the partnership just days ahead of the 2025-26 NFL season, but the deal has been in the works for a while now. Pat was spotted at the Jordan “Board of Greatness” event in Greece earlier this summer alongside a slew of ambassadors, collaborators, and members of Team Jordan. Surtain, 25, was the ninth pick in the 2021 NFL draft and has been with Denver for his entire career. After a dominant 2024 that included an AP Defensive Player of the Year win, PS2 is starting the season as the league’s most feared corner.
“I'm pretty excited. It was a cool experience meeting M.J. himself. It was pretty dope,” Surtain told The Denver Gazette in July. “I feel like that whole brand, what they have in order, is a very close group and the brand (has) a family-first aspect. I'm glad to be a part of the Jordan brand. I’m looking forward to it.”
In a new ad announcing the partnership on Instagram, Surtain II is seen in pairs of low-top Jordan 1 cleats, but we’ll have to wait for the weekend to see what model and colorway he breaks out for his first snaps as a Jordan athlete.
