Lamar Jackson is playing fantastic football for the Baltimore Ravens. Tennessee Titans safety Kevin Byard is expecting the impressive quarterback to play unstoppable football against his own team this weekend.
The 26-year-old safety and the rest of the defense is preparing to face Jackson and his multi-faceted game. Byard is so impressed with what the second-year signal-caller has to offer that he even called him the second coming of Michael Vick.
“I would say he's Vick 2.0,” safety Kevin Byard said. “I was talking to my dad about it last night. I think he is faster than Vick, and he's so dynamic. I grew up watching Vick and I wanted to wear No. 7 because of Vick. I think kids are growing up now wanting to be just like Lamar Jackson. He is so dynamic and a trailblazer in his own right. And facing him is a big challenge for us.
“I have been watching him all year making guys look silly out there, so we are going to have to do a good job containing this guy.”
Jackson has wowed fans with his elite passing and equally outstanding running ability. He's hands down the heavy favorite to win the league's MVP award as he has notched 3,127 passing yards, 36 passing touchdowns, 1,206 rushing yards, and seven rushing touchdowns this season for the Ravens.
Trying to hold him down will be a tough task for the Titans to take on as he will be hard to pin down. He has the ability to throw dangerous long passes as well as the agility to slip by pass rushers and move the chains for Baltimore's quick offense.
It will become a game of picking which poison to drink. It's looking bleak for the Titans defense, but all they could do at this point is to just prepare as best they could and hope Jackson has an off night.
