There’s a consensus that Jared Lorenzen made his mark in high school by becoming Kentucky’s Mr. Football and in college as "The Hefty Lefty" as he engineered University of Kentucky for four successful years and left college football fourth all-time in passing yards in the SEC.

But Lorenzen also made an impact in the NFL. His pro career numbers are meager: 4-of-8 passing for 28 yards in four games as a backup for the New York Giants.
