Teams that could use Lamar Jackson

Lamar Jackson showed up at the 2018 NFL Scouting Combine to prove he’s a quarterback. The team’s commitment to Tyrod Taylor has been shaky for years, and that’s putting it lightly. Ridley said the Dolphins were his favorite team and it would “mean a lot” to get drafted by them.

Even though Jackson won the 2016 Heisman Trophy, even though he threw for 57 touchdowns against 19 interceptions over the past two seasons.

While Jackson didn’t take part in the 40-yard dash at the Combine, he did say he was going to run it at his Louisville pro day. He isn’t your traditional step-back, pocket passer.

Jerry Knaak, the team historian of the Oakland Raiders, reported on Friday that Auburn’s 1985 Heisman Trophy told him that he didn’t attend the workout in New Orleans. Jackson’s recent measurements still make him seem like a QB.

During Jackson’s time at the podium during the Combine, Jackson confirmed that playing any position other than quarterback is completely off of the table. The only question you have about him is can he take the beating the way he plays in the NFL? Why would Lamar Jackson care about the feelings of an organization so backwards it would get upset by something like this? He flings it effortlessly down the field, and has an absolute cannon for someone his size.

Jackson also clarified that his mother, Felicia Jones, is his manager and that he hired a lawyer to negotiate his contract rather than an agent because of the current rookie wage scale. “You’re just trying to reword the question”.

Jackson will instead be focusing on the on-field drills and other athletic drills, and it’s hard to blame him.

Jackson does carry a huge amount of risk. “He’s going to be taking a big cut of my pay check anyways”.

At 6-foot-2 and 215 pounds, Jackson is a unique dual-threat quarterback that has the tools to succeed at the next level.

Watkins started covering the Cowboys in 2006 and after a three-year stint covering the Rockets for ESPN is now back on an National Football League beat covering the Jets.

With each year, the ceremonial display of top-tier quarterbacks at the combine becomes less about finding out who these prospects are as people and more about judging how well they were prepared for the moment by a small army of marketing professionals, agents, interview coaches, tutors and mechanical gurus. He would have the country talking about Buffalo again.

Jackson hasn’t announced yet if he will work out as a wideout. He’s Michael Vick without all those pesky issues Vick went through. There is a possibility that Jackson will fall late in the first round, where the Patriots come into play at No. The headliners of the class are a couple of California guys, USC’s Sam Darnold and UCLA’S Josh Rosen, followed by the polarizing Baker Mayfield (Oklahoma) and Josh Allen (Wyoming). But I have a feeling it may be different if they not only draft a QB of the future, but a possible weapon of the present.
