Just like the guy on the Baltimore Ravens, Jets cornerback Lamar Jackson played quarterback in high school.

As a dual-threat quarterback, Jackson was able to play both sides of the football efficiently. However, Jackson was viewed as more of a defensive back and was ranked the top safety in the country by Rivals.
