Throughout his football career, Quavious “Quavo” McGrady was the go to guy when you needed a conversion or touchdown. He might not be the fastest player on the field, but if you put the ball in the air you can damn near guarantee that he was going to come down with it. At LSU, their Offensive coordinator knew this, and knew that the team needed to utilize Quavo's talent when they needed him most. In an important game against their rival, the Florida Gators, the LSU Tigers were trailing by four with three minutes left in the fourth quarter. Their starting QB went down with a leg injury, and would not be returning to finish the game. With very little trust in the passing accuracy of the back-up quarterback, the OC advised the quarterback to “Feed Quavo the Rock” as much as he could to secure a touchdown win. Realizing the Gator defense heavily running a zone defense, the LSU OC took advantage of this and found ways to get Quavo open. 16 yard gain. 22 yard gain. 12 yard gain. The defense could not stop Quavo. He thought he was invincible, and decided to trash talk a defender after catching it over him. The defense clearly did not take this lightly. Before the next play, Quavo noticed multiple players on the defense staring them down, but Quavo did not make much of it. The next play was a slant and Quavo knew he would be getting it. Taking off the moment the ball was hiked, it was already heading towards him, sailing a little high and knew he had to leap for it. The moment he jumped into the air, 2 defensive players threw all their weight into him, they were trying to purposefully hurt him. This ended up hurting him had him miss a couple of games. This was Quavo’s “welcome to the league” moment.
