"Longtime San Diego Chargers defensive back Quentin Jammer had a rough year in 2011. On the field, he was having his worst statistical season after a decade in the NFL. Off the field, the father of three young sons was going through a painful divorce. On Monday, Jammer made a revelation that shed some light on just how dark those days were for him."
""True story....... In 2011 I played completely s- faced drunk in at least 8 games," Jammer wrote Monday night on X. Naturally, fans had a lot of questions, and the Chargers' 2002 first-round draft pick was happy to engage with many of them. He shared that he had " 2 tequila bottles in my bag" on those particular game days and that he " drank [the] whole game and all the way home.""
"Did being inebriated affect his play? "I played well in all but 1 game," said Jammer, who added that during that particular game, "I was out there seeing s- that wasn't there!" Jammer didn't specify which game that was, but in the past he has referred to the Chargers' 24-17 loss to the Oakland Raiders on Nov. 10, 2011, as " probably the worst game in my life.""
Quentin Jammer played at least eight NFL games intoxicated during the 2011 season while carrying tequila bottles in his bag and drinking through games and the ride home. He experienced his worst statistical season after a decade in the league while also undergoing a painful divorce and raising three young sons. Jammer said he performed well in all but one game, when he described seeing things that were not there. He previously called the Chargers' 24-17 loss to the Oakland Raiders on Nov. 10, 2011, probably the worst game of his life. In 2011 he allowed six touchdowns and averaged 10.5 yards per passing attempt against him.
