Ravens in awe of Lamar Jackson, their 'young Michael Vick'

OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Baltimore Ravens first-round pick Lamar Jackson is still working on his accuracy, the playbook and working under center.

Where Jackson has dazzled this offseason is in the open field. The Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback has been a terror when he runs out of the pocket, showing off his speed and cutting ability.

While there is no tackling in offseason practices, there have been times when defenders have struggled to get a hand on Jackson.

"Every time he runs I’m in awe because most people -- especially a quarterback -- can’t move the way he does," wide receiver Chris Moore said after the Ravens' first day of mandatory minicamp.
