Did you need any other reasons to think Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is not human?
What's that? You didn't? Well too bad, you're getting one.
Jackson is at the Pro Bowl, because of course he is. We're talking about the obvious MVP, so he has to be at the Pro Bowl.
Who is at the Pro Bowl exactly? The best players in the NFL. No better time to remind everyone you are insanely talented by making an insane throw.
So what did the Ravens star do? Nothing much. He just threw the ball from 50 yards away and hit the crossbar of the uprights.

That is ridiculous. It shows off the incredible arm strength and amazing accuracy of Jackson. At the same time, it's another hilarious reminder that people actually thought this man should be a running back.
Imagine seeing someone with that arm talent and saying “running back”. Couldn't be me.
Jackson proved his doubters wrong all season long, as he led the Ravens to a 14-2 record. They faltered in the playoffs, but he was not nearly as bad in that game as many tried to claim.
The real story though, is that he's still one of the youngest quarterbacks in football. Jackson has all the time in the world to rectify that postseason loss. And with an arm like that, there is no reason to believe he won't do it.
Plenty of incredible years are ahead for Jackson and the Ravens. He will see many more Pro Bowl nods. None of them will be his first Pro Bowl again though, so he better enjoy this one and make it memorable.
It looks like he is, not only for himself, but for everyone.
