Baltimore Ravens star quarterback Lamar Jackson had one of the most electric seasons in NFL history. The Louisville product broke multiple records and led the Ravens to the best record in the NFL. Additionally, he became the second quarterback in NFL history to run for 1,000 yards in a season.
Caesars Sportsbook put the over/under on his rushing yards for the season at 999.5, and he's at equal -110 odds to go over or under, via Pro Basketball Talk. Although it'll be tough to match the stats he had in the 2019 NFL campaign, it's certainly not impossible. If he does top 1000 rushing yards this upcoming season, he'll become the first quarterback in NFL history to do it in consecutive seasons.
This past season, Jackson surpassed 1,000 rushings yards in only the Ravens' 14th game of the season. In addition, he sat out during the last game of the season in Week 17.
Even though it's likely he can do it again this upcoming season, Jackson doesn't anticipate running as much as he did in 2019.
“I doubt that I am going to be carrying the ball a lot going further into the future, because we have dynamic running backs and even more receivers,” Jackson told local reporters last week. “We have ‘Hollywood' [Marquise Brown], Mark Andrews, Nick [Boyle], Willie Snead IV, Miles [Boykin], [so] we are going to be pretty good, and I don't think I'll be running a lot.”
This upcoming season, the Ravens will be seeking to avenge their disappointing loss to the Tennessee Titans in the 2019 Divisional Round.
