Louisville Cardinals quarterback Malik Cunningham warms up for the college football game against the Syracuse Orange on Nov. 13, 2021, at Cardinal Stadium in Louisville, Kentucky.
"I do get tired of it a little bit, but who wouldn’t want to be compared to Lamar? I mean, the great Lamar, in my opinion, the best college football player to ever play the sport. Just a role model to me, a big brother, and I’m thankful for a lot of the stuff that he does for me," Cunningham said."I would say I took a lot from him considering the type of person he was.
"That's the biggest thing for me, is always putting a smile on my teammates' face, the coaches' faces, their family's faces, their kids and the kids back home; then my nieces and nephews and my brothers in my family. That's the biggest thing for me. Just making everybody happy and make people smile on their face.". Last year, he had 2,941 passing yards and 19 passing touchdowns to go along with 1,031 rushing yards and 20 rushing touchdowns.
