Ask a Ravens fan, and they’ll tell you quarterback Lamar Jackson has an irreplicable style that can dominate on the gridiron on any given down. Ask NFL fans, and you might get the half-serious jokes that he’s a running back, or he’s not in the same caliber as other signal callers across the NFL.
But NFL.com’s Bucky Brooks doesn’t have that consideration, and thinks Jackson’s “so-called slump from the former NFL MVP in 2021 has led some observers to have amnesia when recalling Jackson’s impact as a playmaker on the perimeter.”
“After tallying a pair of 1,000-yard seasons as a rusher, defensive coordinators are well aware of his ability to take over the game on the ground,” Brooks wrote.
