Broncos players called Jarrett Stidham 'Lamar Jackson' after his rushing touchdown

Denver Broncos quarterback Jarrett Stidham rushed for a nine-yard touchdown in a 27-2 win over the Green Bay Packers last week.

After the game, Stidham was asked if he felt like running back Javonte Williams as he lowered his shoulder to reach the end zone.

“Yeah, everyone kept calling me Lamar Jackson on that sideline," Stidham said. "I have a long way to go for that. I just saw an open lane and decided to take it and tried to get in the endzone and it worked out.”

With kneel-down stats included, Stidham is credited with 32 carries for 97 yards in his NFL career (four starts).
