President Trump, Ravens QB Lamar Jackson Tweet About Each Other

When Baltimore Ravens quarterback and reigning NFL MVP Lamar Jackson quote tweeted a video of his college teammate Jaire Alexander's reaction to Jackson getting picked on draft night, he probably didn't expect to tweet to gain traction in the White House.

That's exactly what happened, though, as President Donald Trump took the time to offer his admiration of the moment.

Jackson was taken with the No. 32 pick in the 2018 draft, the final selection of the first round. He's posted a 19-3 record as a starter in the regular season, and last year set a new NFL record for most rushing yards by a quarterback (1,206).
