Not bad for a running back.
If you’re a Ravens fan, you’re familiar with that phrase, uttered by star quarterback Lamar Jackson after he threw for a perfect passer rating against the Dolphins in the 2019 season opener.
Jackson has been labeled as a running back, athletic wonder or injury-waiting-to-happen since he first started wearing out opposing defenses in college. Though we have all seen his dramatic improvement with his passing acumen throughout the course of his career, there is still another part of his arsenal that isn’t spoken about enough.
That mind.
I’ve long thought Jackson plays a bit like a point guard when plays break down.
