Being one of the top quarterbacks in the league today — not to mention the reigning unanimous MVP — Baltimore Ravens superstar Lamar Jackson hears his fair share of smack talk from opposing teams. Recently, the 24-year-old revealed the type of trash talk he comes across most often, which unsurprisingly, doesn't bother him at all.
According to Jackson, he has a tendency of just laughing off whatever opposing players decide to throw at him, which more often than not, is about hurting him on the ensuing play:
“Number 8, I’m gonna smack you, I’m coming after you this play,” Jackson said in a recent interview on NBC Sports (h/t Ryan Wormeli). “I’m gonna get you [expletive], like they cussin’ me out, I just laugh.”
Despite being one of the baddest players in the game today, Jackson has a reputation of being a very humble dude. He's not one to engage in smack talk, and here is why:
“I wouldn’t say that’s always been me, because when I was little I used to talk trash,” Jackson said about not talking smack.
“I used to talk trash to my opponents when I was little, because I used to play defense. And you know defense, they always talk smack, and I know that so that’s why I really don’t talk back when they’re talking to me. But as I got older I pretty much let my play do the talking. I don’t really want to talk about it, because you get out there and get embarrassed, now everybody going to be on you. So I just chill, I just let people do them.”
For opposing teams, this is way worse. In most cases, Lamar Jackson embarrasses opposing defenses with his outstanding play. There's no need for him to talk smack because as he said, it's his game that does the talking.
