Ravens' Lamar Jackson: 'I Play Ball to Win. I Don't Worry About Getting Injured'

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson's running ability has allowed him to be a versatile playmaker, but it also puts him at risk of injury.

He won't let the fear of getting hurt deter him from taking off and running with the football, though, as he told NBC's Mike Tirico (around the 16:45 mark):

"I'm not [taking too many hits]. Gotta watch the game up close. I'm not really taking no hits. I got it figured out. ... You can get hurt in practice on the dropback. Knock on wood. ... So you can get hurt doing anything.
