Lamar Jackson, Deshaun Watson are true 'dual-threat' QBs

While the rest of the country is celebrating Lamar Jackson's hot start to the season, he has critiqued his own performance as lacking. So this week, a reporter quizzed Jackson on what completion percentage he'd need to be satisfied, and Jackson didn't shy away from setting a high bar.

"Maybe 95 percent," Jackson said.

As it stands, Jackson is completing just less than 59 percent but is still poised to upend Clemson on Saturday, put his team in position for a playoff berth and win a Heisman Trophy in the process.

Still, it's those high standards as a passer that drove Jackson to Louisville in the first place, and his development as a quarterback has been paramount to his success since he arrived.
