Overview

  • Matt Leinart shared a home video of his young son asking an Amazon Alexa device, "Who is Matt Leinart?"
  • Alexa answered that he was a Heisman Trophy winner at USC and a top-10 NFL Draft pick before concluding that "his pro career didn't amount to much."
  • Leinart reacted on camera with a smile, saying, "Wow, Alexa's rough. Damn."
  • Coverage recapped his career: No. 10 pick by the Cardinals in 2006, early injuries and Kurt Warner limited his trajectory, he was cut in 2010 after a backup stint, had brief stops with the Texans and Raiders, and now works as a Fox college football analyst.
  • The clip was widely picked up by sports outlets, with no public response from Amazon reported.
