Canadian superstar rapper Drake is known to be a big NFL fan. He even bets big on his favorite players as he did during the Super Bowl this year. Drake is often seen mingling with many NFL stars like OBJ. And his enthusiasm for the sport cannot be described in simple words.

Although the rapper is known to be a Seattle Seahawks and Cleveland Browns fan, he can sometimes be seen vouching for his favorite players on the gridiron. He also cheered for his friend OBJ when the Los Angeles Rams met the Cincinnati Bengals at the Super Bowl LVI. He even bet $393,636 on the wideout to score a touchdown which he did early on in the game.

Beckham though exited the game after hurting his ACL again, but he gave Drake a total of $713,244 of payout from his bet. Clearly, OBJ is his favorite wide receiver in the league. But ever wondered who his favorite QB would be?

Recently, Drake took to Instagram to post a story with a famous NFL QB as he wrote alongside, “Me and my QB.” It would take a hard intuition to guess that that QB was in fact the Baltimore Ravens star QB Lamar Jackson. Jackson is indeed one of the elite QBs prevailing in the league right now.
