Defenders are worried they'll end up on Lamar Jackson's highlight reel. It's like NBA players not going up for a block because they don't wanna get posterized. https://t.co/T3ANQbUJeX
Jackson just turned in an MVP-caliber season in 2019, throwing for 3,217 yards and 36 touchdowns, while rushing for 1,206 yards and seven TDs.
Watson, on the other hand, tossed for 26 TDs and 3,852 yards. He picked up an additional 413 yards on the ground alongside seven scores.
