Frazier’s shot landed him in the national spotlight — and he deserves it

Waking up this morning, checking the Twitterverse and noticing that arguably the most popular NFL player and reigning MVP Lamar Jackson tweeted about Trent Frazier’s 34 court shot last night. AND it wound up at No. 2 in today’s SportsCenter Top 10. What a day for him.

In what has been a magical season with some lows (losses to Miami, Missouri) and some highs (sweep of Michigan, road wins at Wisconsin and Penn State) — Trent’s shot last night reminds us to never take our eyes off of the action. True sports fans know this.
