The start of Lamar Jackson’s career resembles that of Peyton Manning

The way that Lamar Jackson plays quarterback is polar opposite to how 2021 Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee Peyton Manning played the position during his 17-year career. Jackson is the most dynamic dual-threat quarterback that the game has ever seen and Manning is one of the sharpest minds that it has ever seen in a signal-caller.

While there are several other stark differences between the two like Manning being the first overall pick in 1998 and Jackson being the last pick in the first round in 2018, a way in which they eerily similar is the start of their respective careers.
