It’s such a good NFL draft story you don’t want to fold it into the larger, disappointing story. Shaq Quarterman is going home to Jacksonville. To his family. To what should be a new and happy reunion.
The Quartermans used to fit nine family members in a Toyota Camry for church every Sunday. Three in the front seat. Three in the back seat. Three on someone’s laps. Those cramped Sunday mornings rides aren’t some distant memory to the returning son, either.
“That’s my inspiration," he said throughout his University of Miami career that led to his being a fourth-round pick by the Jaguars.
