One of the most intriguing rookie prospects this year is Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson out of Louisville. There have been many questions about how his college game will translate to the NFL.
Jackson was asked about how his game will translate, and he said he would continue to “play his game” at this level.
“I'm just still going to play my game,” Jackson said via ESPN. “I'm not going to let anything change. If it's there, throw the ball. If it's not, probably run. I'm going to go out of bounds. I'm not going to take on defenders.”
Robert Griffin III has been in Jackson's ear since he was drafted trying to give him tips about when to run in the NFL. Griffin hasn't told him that he shouldn't run, but as tried to make sure that he needs to be cautious when he does it.
“What I tried to tell him mostly is, in this league, things happen faster,” said Griffin, who suffered injuries while scrambling. “It's not that he can't. He has to be smart when he does run. I feel like he's my little brother, but I'm not going to try as the big brother to tell him, ‘Don't do this.' He's going to have to learn some things on his own. I think he'll figure it out pretty quickly. He'll still be the dynamic player that he is.”
How much Jackson is going to see the field this year is still to be seen, but the coaching staff has made it clear that he will find ways to get him on.
