Former Kentucky quarterback Jared Lorenzen died Wednesday age 38. He dazzled us with his play in Lexington from 2000-03 (he redshirted in 1999) and in the NFL for four games with the New York Giants between 2006 and 2007.

(And yes, he did get a Super Bowl ring in 2007.)

The "Hefty Lefty" will be remembered for what he did on the field. Here are five of his greatest moments:

1. Telling fans they'd miss 'one hell of a game'

In 2003, Arkansas came into Lexington and beat the Wildcats 71-63. It took seven overtime periods (a five-way tie for most overtime periods in a game), and some Kentucky fans had begun to leave before regulation had ended.

Lorenzen wasn't happy with that. So he told the fans what they'd miss. Check out the video:

Here are highlights from the game:

2. This over-the-shoulder pass to avoid a sack

Against Georgia, Lorenzen was in the pocket when he avoided slipping. He was caught in what was sure to be a sack before he passed over his shoulder on the way down for the completion. It's much too pretty to be an accident. (It's the first clip in the video.)

3. Anytime he went up against a cornerback

Look, these young men had families, but Lorenzen came to play. He didn't just throw the ball. He'd run it down your throat too.

4. His mobility

We already told you he could run, so there should be no doubt that he could move around the pocket. And he was fun to watch. 

5. This entire game against Tennessee

The Volunteers won, but not for lack of trying by Lorenzen. He fought back each time the Vols went ahead, but a late fumble after a catch doomed the Wildcats in the fourth to a 38-35 loss.
