How Malik Cunningham continues the Louisville legacy started by Teddy Bridgewater, Lamar Jackson

Teddy Bridgewater, Lamar Jackson and Malik Cunningham -- Louisville quarterbacks past and present -- got together for the first time in April at a wellness event for kids in their adopted city. At first, none of them knew what to say, their naturally shy personalities making it hard to be the first to speak up.

Finally, after a few minutes of awkwardly looking at each other, Bridgewater and Jackson cracked a joke. Cunningham started laughing and away they went the rest of the afternoon, teasing and cajoling and having fun playing football with the boys and girls who have known nothing but either Teddy, Lamar or Malik as the starting quarterback repping the Cardinals.
