Lamar Jackson may be the gold standard for the NFL's rushing quarterbacks in 2020, but he made sure to give credit to the "O.G." this week.
In this case, the 'original gangster' Jackson is referring to is Cam Newton. The duo will face off for the first time as starters in the NFL on Week 10's "Sunday Night Football" on NBC when the Patriots host the Ravens. Jackson started watching Newton at Auburn and wanted to be like him.
As far as dual-threat quarterbacks go, Newton has set a high bar in the NFL. He's lived up to his "Superman" moniker that Jackson repeated multiple times in Week 10.
