Yes, since he publicly acknowledges the plight of black QBs.
Mike Vick and Shaun King (Fox Sports Radio) shy away from it.
McNabb, Culpepper, Leftwhich, Aaron Brooks, Cunningham, and many others I'm not sure have the platform or do so publicly.

Doug Williams mentoring Jayden Daniels
Warren Moon mentoring Cam Ward

RG3 and Mahomes are known to be a c00ns, but have acknowledged it what it take to be a black QB in the NFL.

Same for Lamar without the c00nin'...usually the favorite player of the youngins + Prior to Cooper Rush had an all-black QB room (w/Leary on practice squad)

Isn’t that a bit played out now, seeing the amount of black QBs. We make up 13% of the population but 50% of starting QBs.

Just playing QB in the NFL doesn't make one an "elder black statesman".

-Giving back specifically and or predominantly to younger black QBs.
-Being someone younger that black QBs look up to.
-Vocal about the plight of being a black QB in the NFL
=======
Russell Wilson
Teddy Bridgewater
Tyrod Taylor
Patrick Mahomes
Lamar Jackson
Jalen Hurts
CJ Stroud
Jayden Daniels
Geno Smith
Jameis Winston

Are the few I know on active rosters that match the criteria of "elder black statesman"

What I’m saying is that if almost 50% are black, you are giving back to people who are already close to majority. And what is the plight in this case it’s not 2017 or worse 2007 anymore for black QBs.

Maybe white guys get more benefit of doubt still, but it’s not very easy to notice unless you read between the lines in some pods and shyt. I’d say that black coaches still face the same problems they always had though
