Jake Plummer

Jake Plummer is a former NFL quarterback and current entrepreneur known for his dynamic football career and post-retirement ventures in wellness and sustainability.

Born on December 19, 1974, in Boise, Idaho, Plummer earned the nickname “Jake the Snake” for his elusive style of play. He gained national recognition at Arizona State University, where he led the Sun Devils to an undefeated regular season and a Pac-10 title in 1996. That year, he was named a First-Team All-American and Pac-10 Offensive Player of the Year. His college success earned him a place in the College Football Hall of Fame.

Plummer was selected by the Arizona Cardinals in the second round of the 1997 NFL Draft. He played six seasons with the Cardinals, including leading them to their first playoff win in 50 years. He later joined the Denver Broncos, where he had one of his best seasons in 2005, earning a Pro Bowl selection and helping the team reach a 13–3 record. Over his ten-year NFL career, Plummer passed for more than 29,000 yards and 161 touchdowns.

Following his retirement from professional football, Plummer turned his focus to health and wellness. He co-founded a company that develops mushroom-based supplements and launched a mushroom farm in Colorado, dedicated to cultivating functional and culinary mushrooms. A passionate advocate for natural health solutions, he has also spoken out about the benefits of CBD and alternative therapies for athlete recovery and well-being.

Now living in Idaho with his family, Plummer remains active in his community and continues to inspire others through his unique journey from the gridiron to the farm—championing resilience, transformation, and a more mindful way of life.
