Syracuse women’s basketball freshman guard Lexi McNabb is ready to make a name for herself.
The daughter of former NFL quarterback Donovan McNabb, the freshman Cuse player decided to impress her teammates by hitting a really sweet, overhanded half-court shot during a practice.
“Everyone remember, I am the QB’s kid,” Lexi joked before sinking the bucket to the delight of her fellow Syracuse athletes.
It’s all at once a reminder of just how good you have to be to make it to Division 1 athletics, and also how it’s not just the name that’s going to make Lexi a factor for Syracuse in the years to come.

Lexi was right to ask someone to post that awesome highlight.
We’re guessing being the quarterback’s kid has some great perks when it comes to the lessons you get to learn along the way, and the younger McNabb seems ready to take hold of the family name and make something new with it.
