With Lamar Jackson approaching Michael Vick's single-season rushing record for a quarterback, the MVP frontrunner said it would be an "honor" to bypass his idol.
"It'd be an honor," Jackson told reporters Wednesday. "Mike Vick's my favorite player. For me to do such a thing is incredible. He had that record for a long time. It would be pretty cool, but I'm focused on the win regardless."
Jackson enters Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills 63 yards away from passing Vick, who rushed for 1,039 yards in the 2006 season. Vick is the only quarterback to rush for 1,000 yards in a season and the only signal-caller to top 900 yards twice.
