Hey pilgrim, ever hear of Jalen Hurts, Patrick Mahomes? Go play on the expressway.
Lamar Jackson.
Yep. It doesn’t matter your color, your college pedigree, or level of raw athleticism beyond a baseline level.
Lots of QB’s have shown that if you’re coachable, have a high football IQ, are cool under pressure, and can command the respect of your coaches and teammates you can have a good career in the NFL.
A rocket arm or running back speed can get you so far but if you’re a head case, can’t read a defense, or a locker room cancer, none of that matters.
Johnny Manziel, Ryan Leaf, Jamarcus Russell etc. are all color-blind examples.
