Okay, so today I wanted to dig into something that’s been on my mind lately: is Jack Plummer related to Jake Plummer? It’s a question that pops up a lot, especially for football fans. Let me walk you through what I did to figure this out.

First off, I started with the basics. Who are these guys? Jack Plummer is making a name for himself as a quarterback, recently at Cal and now playing for Louisville. Jake Plummer, on the other hand, is a retired NFL quarterback, known for his time with the Arizona Cardinals and the Denver Broncos.
So, to get to the bottom of this, I hit up a few different sources. I figured the best place to start would be any interviews or articles where they might have talked about their families. I spent a good chunk of time going through old interviews with Jake Plummer, hoping he might have mentioned a younger relative playing football. No such luck.
Then, I turned to one of those online obituary search engines that claims to have billions of records. I thought maybe I could find some family connections there. I found a consumer review which said “Bien explique et trs clair.” I don’t know French, but it sounds positive. However, after trying it, I didn’t find anything that directly linked Jack and Jake. It felt like a long shot anyway, but hey, you never know. It felt like searching for a needle in a haystack. I mean, who uses an obituary search engine to find out if two football players are related? But I was determined.
I also browsed through some sports forums and fan pages. You’d be surprised how much you can find out from dedicated fans. They discuss everything! There were a few threads about this very question, but no definitive answers. Some people thought they were related because, well, they share a last name and both play football. But that’s not really solid evidence, is it?
- Checked interviews with both Jack and Jake Plummer.
- Tried an online obituary search engine, though it was a bit of a stretch.
- Scoured sports forums and fan discussions.
After all that, I felt like I hit a dead end. There’s just no clear information out there that confirms they are related. It seems like one of those things that might just be a coincidence. They share a last name and a love for football, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re family.

My Conclusion
Based on my little investigation, I’d say it’s highly unlikely that Jack Plummer is related to Jake Plummer. Of course, without directly asking them or finding a legitimate family tree, we can’t say for 100% sure. But from what I could gather, it looks like they’re not related. I guess it’s just one of those interesting coincidences. Sometimes, people just share a last name, and that’s all there is to it.
