Jammer made a shocking admission on social media this week
Former San Diego Chargers cornerback Quentin Jammer raised some eyebrows on Monday, when he took to social media to reveal that he played a number of games during the 2011 season while under the influence of alcohol.
"True story……. In 2011 I played completely **** faced drunk in at least 8 games," Jammer wrote.
Jammer said that football players deal with real-life issues just like everyone else, no matter how much money you make or how famous you are. He also lamented the fact that his public revelation was shocking enough for people to bypass the message itself. He was trying to be vulnerable to reach those who are currently struggling.
"U know why n----- kill themselves? Because they can't b vulnerable," Jammer posted. "So all that **** just gets trapped with nowhere to go. To embarrassed to ask for help. Family watching them deteriorate. But go ahead bash me for being vulnerable. I ain't dead n---!!"
Jammer was a former No. 5 overall pick of the Chargers out of the University of Texas in 2002. The outside corner was a consistent presence in the San Diego secondary for 11 years, and contributed to five playoff trips. That includes the 2007 season, when the Chargers fell to the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship game. In 172 career games played for the Chargers, Jammer recorded 721 tackles, 138 passes defensed, seven forced fumbles and 21 interceptions.
During Jammer's alleged "drunk" season in 2011, he recorded 53 tackles, eight passes defensed and zero interceptions in 15 games played. It was one of two seasons with the Chargers in which he failed to intercept a pass, and the first season in which Jammer did not record double-digit passes defensed.
Following 2011, Jammer would go on to play one more season with the Chargers before finishing his career with the Denver Broncos in 2013. While he never made a Pro Bowl, Jammer was selected to the Chargers' 50th Anniversary Team in 2020.

The coaches let him play, or somehow didn't know he was that drunk?
Doc Ellis has entered the chat.
David "Boomer" Wells was hungover or drunk when he pitched a perfect game?
True. I wish I had a sliver of that talent sober.
Who?
What?
Maybe if I had a TV I would understand?
From my hometown … voted a “distinguished alumni”. Great
Read Kenny Stabler’s biography “The Snake”. John Madden had a Pirate Ship not an Oakland Raider football team.
The priest that married me and the Mrs was so drunk he was slurring his words. And to add to the stereotype, he was doing it in an Irish accent... We can always get a laugh about that, and it wasn't the only craziness of the day.
Bobby Layne used to drink whiskey during halftime.
RE: He was allegedly on LSD when he pitched a no hitter?
Line from the Brad Pitt character on heavy LSD, to the three armed killers confronting him in a home invasion in Once Upon A Time In Hollywood:
(Smiling)
“You are real, right?”
There was a time when coaches would bail players out in the morning, before the game.
I would think the free safety would be the easiest position to play drunk.
In the end it relies on what set is called.
Two strides away and you are “burned!”
The sport, Football, has changed but not for the better.
“Chippy,” has become “Dirty.”
I don’t watch NCAA or NFL games, at all.
This isn’t too surprising... Plenty of players likely play while intoxicated on booze and drugs. Many of them likely do so just to kill the pain associated with the constant injuries.
So... What’s the big deal?
Lawrence Taylor and lots of other high profile players said they were high on cocaine plenty of times during their playing careers. The occasional hot toddy couldn’t do too much more harm.

Tom Dempsey, the former NFL kicker born without toes on his right foot who in November 1970 — after a long night of drinking and debauchery in the French Quarter of New Orleans — set the league record for the longest field goal in a regular-season game. The 63-yard kick lifted the New Orleans Saints to a 19-17 victory over the Detroit Lions, and, in the process, helped transform Dempsey into something of a folk hero in the city hosting the Super Bowl on Sunday, the rare Saints player to hold a prominent NFL record before the Sean Payton era.
I should have played football.
You can work drunk and still earn big money! If I ever showed up drunk it would’ve been my last day.
from the web:
“Financially, Jammer had a fruitful NFL career. According to contract-tracking sources:
His career earnings are estimated at USD $47,116,664.
His average per year (APY) over his career was around $3.93 million.
The largest cash payment he received in a season was $7,233,330 (2007).
His original rookie contract (signed in 2002) was a 6-year deal worth about $15.6 million (with ~$6 million guaranteed), and a later extension (in 2006) added roughly $31.3 million over 6 years.”
“Anybody throws me against the board, I’m gonna piss all over myself.”

As only Art Donovan could tell the story

Explains why he didn’t play up to his potential that year

How many wins in the eight drunken games?
