I hope the honorary San Diegan who quarterbacks the Ravens can survive running the NFL football as much he does, because it’s something fun to see.
In fact, it’s statistically unique, what Lamar Jackson is doing as the 100th NFL season heads into Week 8.
Jackson gets honorary local status because he visited San Diego before his final college season, centering the 2017 trip on a quarterback clinic at Coronado High.
Then a Louisville junior, he gave two reasons for his Memorial Day weekend visit: 1) He wanted to see San Diego, having saved money from work to help his family pay for the trip; 2) he enjoyed quarterback camps like this one, where he taught young quarterbacks and got to know fellow quarterbacks such as NFL rookies Patrick Mahomes and Josh Rosen.
