One of Lamar Jackson’s essential assets as a football player is his speed and athleticism from the pocket, which allows him to be a rare threat as a ball-carrier from the quarterback position. There is no better evidence to attest to this fact than to simply city the fact that he set an NFL record, in seven starts, for rushing attempts by a quarterback in a single season as a rookie in 2018 with the Baltimore Ravens.
As he develops more as a passer, however, the second-year quarterback is making his preferences clear. “I hate running”, he told reporters, via Jamison Hensley of ESPN.
