Tyler Huntley is in for Lamar Jackson as a backup after injury on Sunday Night Football for the two-time MVP.
That brings Huntley's nickname into the spotlight: "Snoop."
It's something he's been known as for a long time.
And now, primetime Huntley gets to show that off once again for the Baltimore Ravens.

Why is Tyler Huntley called Snoop?
Tyler Huntley got his nickname Snoop in high school because of his resemblance to the rapper Snoop Dogg.
The Salt Lake Tribune wrote this in 2017: "A skinny kid with long hair before his freshman year at Hallandale, a former coach nicknamed Huntley 'Snoop' because of his resemblance to rapper Snoop Dogg. Even now, when Utes teammates walked off the practice field as Huntley began media availability this week, chants of 'Snoop' rang through the air."
Huntley summed it up after he joined the NFL by saying, "Long story short, I was skinny with long hair. Got the name Snoop."
These days, Huntley is less skinny and doesn't have the long hair. But he's still got the nickname Snoop.
It's an easy one for the home fans to shout out like, "Snooooooooop."
He'd love to have them doing that in Sunday's second half.
