If this football thing doesn’t work out, Jake Haener might have a future in modeling. The New Orleans Saints rookie quarterback went viral on social media this week after his first NFL photoshoot, where he chose to have fun with it, cheese for the cameras, and turn in a surprisingly sultry performance.
Haener’s going to busy picking up the Saints’ playbook and waiting for the team to call his number should Derek Carr and Jameis Winston both be unavailable (which is easier for New Orleans to work with thanks to the new emergency quarterback rule). So it’s good to see him making the most of what could be an uncomfortable experience in front of the cameras.
Here’s what NFL fans had to say in reaction to Haener’s best Derek Zoolander impression:

Jake Haener looks like the starting QB in a ‘90s football movie who loses his job due to injury and has to learn humility and teamwork by rooting for the backup. pic.twitter.com/Dn939Uk9jH
