Ravens' Jackson: 'I hate running', I'd rather pass

OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson insisted all offseason that he would be running less.

After three games this season, Jackson offered another revelation.

"I hate running," Jackson said. "Only if I have to, but my job is to get the ball to the receivers, the tight ends, running backs. If I have to run, I'll do it, but I'd rather just sit back and pass it. I like throwing touchdowns instead of running them."

In three games, Jackson is averaging 33 passes and just nine rushes per game -- which is down from his 17 carries per game as a starter last season.
