USC’s Jake Olson is out to prove he’s an all-around athlete, from showing off his golf swing to his latest highlight video. Today, Olson shared his quarterback highlight tape saying he was, “Officially entering my name into the 2018 QB competition!”
Check out his full tape featuring (in my opinion, starring) his awesome guide dog, Quebec:

I gotta be honest… there were some solid throws in there and I am somewhat baffled by his ability to hit a moving receiver. I mean, some of those throws were not short passes.
For someone who has been blind from the age of 12, this is insane. I have two fully functional eyes and I can barely hit a moving target more than 10-feet away (exception: It’s 2010, I’m drunk, and it’s a sliding cup in beer pong).
