“Lamar Jackson will never be able to sustain his style of play.” “Lamar Jackson should translate to wide receiver if he wants to succeed at the next level.” “Lamar Jackson just can’t throw the football.”
These are the things people said about Lamar Jackson, not just during his predraft process for the 2018 NFL Draft but to this day. It hasn’t aged well and it has only made people look stupider and stupider.
Lamar Jackson’s play in college was “too cute” for the NFL, but now it’s proving to be too much for the league to handle.
