Whatever lies have been told about Lamar Jackson not being an NFL caliber quarterback prospect should be quickly dismissed.

What is one thing a young quarterback needs to learn how to do transitioning to the next level? Get rid of the ball quickly.

There may not be anyone in college football better at this, when it comes to working the short-intermediate part of the field and getting the ball out of your hand quickly.

I just don’t understand how you stop this guy.

Jackson can kill you in the short game, but he is also deadly with that strong arm deep downfield. If the coverage holds up, you had better hope your defense keeps contain and doesn’t let him escape from the pocket.

I’ve seen some great improvement from the pocket from Jackson this season. He’s been stellar this season so far and looks like a top 10 draft pick.
