Malik Cunningham garnered plenty of praise after his strong NFL debut, including a ringing endorsement from Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson.
Jackson supported his fellow University of Louisville dual-threat QB and former teammate by commenting: “QB1” on Cunningham’s Instagram post.
He also quote-tweeted a highlight that showed Cunningham wreaking havoc against the Houston Texans and wrote: “Broski” with gasoline emojis.
Cunningham appears to be in a battle for the No. 3 spot with Trace McSorley, behind Mac Jones and Bailey Zappe.
If Thursday night is a sign of things to come, though, there’s a chance he could earn some situational opportunities moving forward.
