He is our franchise quarterback and belongs to the absolute top in Europe. We are happy to be able to rely on continuity at this important position and the fans can look forward to many spectacular plays."

A key player for the 2023 offense

With 2.930 yards passing, 31 passing touchdowns and only seven interceptions, he ranked fourth in yards and fourth in completion rate with eleven games played. His backup quarterback Moritz Johannknecht started one game against the Panthers last season, while Sullivan needed to sit out a game due to injury. Having Jakeb Sullivan in the line-up will likely keep the Galaxy in playoff-contention for the upcoming season, yet again.
