For those who might have been wondering, Jamar Hornsby is a very successful attorney in south Florida these days. Quite a turnaround story.

Correct. Wisky only went play action 9 plays last year. Mertz was 6 of 9 on those. Got that off the GB podcast and they stated his completion % was so much better with the P.A. Ran on 1st & 2nd down exclusively and left him is some really bad 3rd and long situations.

With an improved OL, WR's, and with ETN/Johnson all he will need to do is manage a game and not make stupid mistakes (if possible). And if it is not too much to ask how about a simple pass to the RB out of the backfield with it being shot like a missile.
They also said with drops taken out of the equation, when his throws were on target, his adjusted completion % is 68%. That's not bad. I honestly didn't know his receivers dropped so many of his passes. That had to be very frustrating.

While that's an interesting stat to consider, extrapolate that over guys who had good percentages as well. He's not the only QB who had recievers drop balls.

LinkedIn says he’s the GM of a RaceTrac. Still appears to be a positive story that was probably not foreseen given his issues here. The profile pic looks like someone who grew up. Good for him.

I did a little more research on him.

* Credit card belonged to a close friend whose boyfriend was on the football team. They were both killed in an auto accident. 2007

* After being kicked off the UF team, Hornsby went to community College. 2008-2009

* He then signed with Ole Miss but before the season, he was arrested (while still on probation from credit card fraud) for attacking a guy using brass knuckles. Hugh Freeze kicked him off the team. He was sentenced to 6 months jail time. 2010

* He was then extradicted to Gainesville fir violation of parole and sentanced to 90 days in jail. 2011.

* He then signed with Tuskegee (2012) and graduated from there with a business degree.

* Played in the Canadian league 2012 -2014.

* Went to work 2015 - present. Worked his way up to GM RaceTrac in Jacksonville FL.

5 Star with tremendous potential.

Yeah, as I said, not a terrible ending up to this point. Not easy to fight your way out of self inflicted problems. You have to give him…praise for manning up making some of himself.
