“Seinfeld” developer and “Curb Your Enthusiasm” star Larry David claims he told former New York Flow GM Mike Maccagnan to enlist Lamar Jackson in the 2018 NFL Draft. David told Michael Kay that when he called to give the recommendation, Maccagnan “laughed at me.” Jackson has since flourished with the Baltimore Ravens and is more than likely to be this season’s NFL MVP. Still, David doesn’t condemn Maccagnan or the franchise, since “nobody reviewed Jackson was going to be good.” Visit Business Insider’s homepage for more stories.
