Lamar Jackson Is Ready to Run it Back

We are thankfully beyond the point when the greater football world feels the need to question the very idea of Lamar Jackson playing quarterback. At nearly every turn during his ascension, the 2016 Heisman Trophy winner at Louisville and the last pick of the first round of the 2018 NFL draft has countered the dated and baseless views of his skill set.

He should switch to wide receiver, you say? Jackson led the league with 36 touchdown passes in 2019, his first full season as a starter. He also finished third with a 113.3 quarterback rating, ahead of Russell Wilson, Patrick Mahomes and Dak Prescott.
