USC’s blind long-snapper and viral sensation Jake Olson recently posted a highlight tape of his talents as a quarterback, and it’s pretty impressive.
Olson, who appeared in a game for USC this season, is surprisingly good for being blind.

Are there going to be a bunch of people that hop online and claim that video wasn’t impressive at all? I’m sure there will be, but consider the fact the guy is blind before saying anything stupid.
Is he slinging it like Russell Wilson, Matthew Stafford, Aaron Rodgers or even myself? No he is not, but he’s getting the ball downfield. That’s more than can be said for some college quarterbacks currently playing football. He even managed to half-convincingly execute the play-action. I’m pretty impressed.
Now we just need to find a NFL team that needs some great PR, and let this kid get in the game. That’d be must watch television.
