This Stat Proves Lamar Jackson Was Truly Slandered in Regards to His Abilities as a QB Before He Was Drafted

After beginning his career with a bang, Lamar Jackson has obviously proven to the haters that he belongs at the quarterback position. He has an MVP trophy in his closet and led the Ravens to 14 wins, the most in the league, this past season.

Pro Football Focus took it one step further by saying that Jackson isn't just a quarterback who has success running the football, rolling out, and delivering hard-to-contain strikes. He can also best every other competitor when he's stuck in the pocket. Turns out, the Ravens star threw 25 touchdowns from the pocket, the most in the NFL.

Why was this ever a question?!

This stat is just another piece of evidence that shows Jackson's throwing ability inside the pocket. Time and time again, the MVP has proven that most NFL teams were wrong about Jackson's arm talent.

To top it off, Jackson didn't just throw a ton of touchdowns. He rarely turned over the ball in the process, either. He only threw six interceptions all season, which shows he is a polished decision-maker as well.

Jackson and his Ravens will look to take the next step in 2020. Even with all the regular season success, Baltimore is 0-2 in the postseason with the Heisman Trophy winner at the helm. Now, Jackson will look to use transport his regular season success to the playoffs, which would prove the rest of his doubters wrong.
