Jamar Kendric Nesbit (born December 17, 1976) is an American former professional football player who was a guard in the National Football League (NFL). He was signed by the Carolina Panthers as an undrafted free agent in 1999. He played college football for the South Carolina Gamecocks football. Nesbit has also played for the Jacksonville Jaguars and New Orleans Saints.
He was suspended for four games during the 2008–2009 season for using a performance-enhancing drug. He had been using StarCaps to drop water weight, which contained the illegal loop diuretic bumetanide, which is used to mask steroids or performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs). While serving his suspension, he lost his starting job to Carl Nicks. In 2010, Nesbit sued the NFL, claiming that they knew that bumetanide (a prescription medication) was in StarCaps (an over the counter product recommended my the New Orleans Saints training staff), but they did not notify any of the players.[1]
He played football at Summerville High School and was part of the Green Wave for John McKissick, the winningest American football coach. He played college football at the University of South Carolina.
