Against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson attempted QB sneak No. 14 of his career (according to sportsinfosolutions.com). He was unsuccessful, bouncing it off to the right side after a slight hesitation and the CBS announcer Andrew Catalon called the way the play was executed “strange.” I’d agree it looks unorthodox, when comparing it to the traditional method we see where quarterbacks simply dive forward behind their offensive linemen and outstretch for the first down. But, this has been a wrinkle since the arrival of Jackson.
I went back through all 14 sneak attempts by Jackson, curious whether this has been superior to the traditional plunge forward method.
