The never-ending comparisons between Lamar Jackson and Michael Vick have another box checked. The Baltimore Ravens’ brilliant second-year quarterback joined the former NFL star as the only quarterbacks to rush for 1,000 yards in a season, surpassing the plateau Sunday against the Buffalo Bills.
Vick rushed for 1,039 yards in 2006, averaging a stunning 8.4 ypc. On that team, Warrick Dunn also had 1,140 yards. The Ravens’ Mark Ingram has close to 900 yards rushing in 2019. Should he reach 1,000, the Ravens’ duo would join the Falcons’ tandem.
Here is the play that saw Jackson become a four-figure quarterback in the rushing department:
