The NFL Has Never Seen Anyone Like Lamar Jackson—and He's Unstoppable

Lamar Jackson is the quarterback nobody knew the NFL desperately needed. He's the personification of a paradigm shift.

For so long, the same old adage applied to quarterback play, "You must win from the pocket."

Why limit a quarterback when he can do it all? Enter Jackson.

The Baltimore Ravens quarterback became the first player in NFL history with four touchdown passes and 50-plus rushing yards in consecutive games, according to Elias Sports Bureau (h/t ESPN's Jamison Hensley). He also became the youngest quarterback in NFL history with multiple five passing touchdowns games in a single season, per ESPN Stats & Info.
