A video of Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson getting food from a street vendor late at night recently went viral on social media. The short clip showed the star athlete interacting with the food truck worker after midnight, which immediately caught the attention of fans and news outlets.
The video went viral due to the unusual way Jackson looked, leading many people online to speculate about his condition. Jackson was filmed in a casual moment, wearing a hoodie as he picked up his late-night order. The attention-grabbing detail for viewers was his appearance, as he seemed to be heavily tired or likely high. This sparked an instant discussion with many viewers suggesting he was under the influence of something.
The timing of the video also added to the controversy, as it surfaced while Jackson was dealing with a hamstring injury that kept him out of practice and games for the struggling Ravens team. The viral post showing him late at night, and appearing “high,” led to immediate criticism and concern from some fans.
The Late-Night Video Shows Lamar Jackson Laughing And Barely Keeping It Together At A Street Vendor
In the viral video, Lamar Jackson is seen standing near the food vendor, receiving his food order. He seemed to be in very high spirits throughout the short clip, laughing as he talked with the person recording him and the street food vendor. When the vendor asks him how he is feeling, Jackson replies with a cheerful and somewhat mumbled that he’s feeling good.
His movements and facial expressions in the video were what made fans jump to conclusions about him being “fried.” His eyes looked half-closed, and his laughter seemed overly exaggerated. These signs led many to believe he was having trouble keeping his composure, suggesting he was far from sober. His relaxed demeanor was unusual compared to his energetic image on the football field.
The entire interaction lasted only a few seconds, but captured a side of the two-time MVP that the public rarely sees. Despite the speculation, Jackson later used his own social media to deny the accusations and tell fans to stop paying attention to people who try to stir up drama.
Fans Flooded The Comments With Jokes And Memes
The fans went wild in the comments section of the original post on X. The most common reaction was humor, with thousands of people replying with jokes and memes about Jackson’s appearance. Many comments joked about the massive amount of food he was buying, connecting it to the idea that he was under the influence.
The post on X saw some hilarious comments. A fan claimed that the NFL would need to test him for drugs after the viral clip.
Another fan pointed out how Jackson couldn’t care less about winning a football game and is focused on his ‘munchies’.
While most comments were just jokes, some fans expressed concern that Jackson, who was dealing with an injury, should be more focused on his recovery and the team’s struggling season. However, the overwhelming majority of the reactions were playful and quickly turned the video into a viral sensation. The whole incident highlighted how quickly a private moment can become a massive online joke for millions of fans.
