Lamar Jackson has just settled himself as one of the best youthful double danger quarterbacks in NFL history, and now he has the record books to demonstrate it.L
During the Ravens’ 31-17 win over the Washington Football Team on Saturday, Jackson passed Michael Vick as the quickest quarterback to toss for 5,000 yards and rush for 2,000, He arrived at the 2,000-yard hurrying imprint a week ago yet broke 5,000 spending yards Sunday in his 35th career game. Vick required 39 games to accomplish the accomplishment.
Jackson is the 30th part in NFL history to cross the two edges, joining individual dynamic quarterbacks Aaron Rodgers, Alex Smith, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Russell Wilson and Cam Newton. Age is his ally to keep delivering at his present movement also. Jackson is still just 23 years of age, an entire year more youthful than Vick when he did it.
That movement was enormously affected by Jackson’s 2019 mission, which saw him toss for 3,127 yards and scramble for another 1,206 on his approach to winning NFL MVP. For correlation, Vick’s vocation highs were 3,303 passing yards and 1,039 surging yards — however he arrived at those imprints in isolated seasons.
Jackson’s next chance to add to his sums will come next Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals.
