Former NFL star cornerback Quentin Jammer, who excelled at the highest level at arguably the toughest position to play in the sport, made a shocking confession this week about his playing days.
He was drunk during many of his games!
Jammer, who played for the then-San Diego Chargers back in 2011, took to social media to make the bizarre admission on Monday Night Football featuring his former Chargers team.
Jammer posted the following about a season that was not among his best years statistically:
“True story……. In 2011 I played completely s**t faced drunk in at least 8 games.”

Jammer (now 46) said the drinking stemmed from his divorce at the time. “Tequila or a good bourbon,” the former NFL cornerback confessed, were his ‘drinks’ of choice.
Jammer singled out a 31-20 loss on Nov.20, 2011, as one of the games where he appeared visibly drunk.
“[The Chargers] knew what was going on in my life at the time. Trust me 100% of u all would’ve done the same,” he added.
Previous reporting near the 2011 season also documented Jammer’s struggles to get his mind back on track amid personal turmoil centered on his divorce.
He confessed to not playing up to standard that year, but never admitted that alcohol played a role in his coping, until now.
True story……. Football players deal with life problems also. Problems don’t care who you are or what you do. Damn sure don’t care abt the amt of money you make. I heal the way I wanna heal. U don’t like it then FUCK YOU! Period niggas!

Jammer, drafted in the first round out of Texas in 2002, spent his career in San Diego until 2012, adding a one-season stint with Denver in 2013.
He retired with 630 tackles, 21 interceptions and seven forced fumbles.
Jammer has been sober since 2023.
