Jake Funk Facts
- In his high school junior year (2015), Jake was named the ‘Maryland Gatorade Player of the Year’ and ‘The Washington Post All-Metro Offensive Player of the Year’. In the state championship game in his senior year, he had scored a title-game record 7 rushing touchdowns.
- In his junior season at the University of Maryland, he had suffered a wrist injury before tearing his ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament). Due to this injury, he had received an extra year of eligibility but had torn his ACL again after having played in the first 3 games of his redshirt junior year.
- His older brother Josh, a professional lacrosse player, also owns a physical therapy clinic in Montgomery County, Maryland. He had assisted Jake in his recovery from the ACL tear.

- After that season, despite having 2 seasons of eligibility remaining due to the injuries that he had suffered and the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) policy surrounding COVID-19, he had declared that he join the 2021 NFL Draft.
- After being selected by the Los Angeles Rams in the draft, he had signed a 4-year rookie contract with the team in May 2021. In October 2021, he had suffered a hamstring injury and was placed on the injured reserve list. He was activated on December 21, 2021.
