The 2020 NFL Scouting Combine is underway and the first group to start running drills are the quarterbacks. So what better time than to take a look back at the 2018 combine and how former Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson performed.
Jackson had been asked to run drills designed for other positions, which he famously turned down. Jackson went so far as to avoid the 40-yard dash entirely, instead only doing passing drills to showcase his arm.
It apparently paid off as the Baltimore Ravens selected him with the last pick in the first round. And it really paid off for the Ravens with Jackson leading the league in touchdown passes and quarterback rushing yards en route to winning the MVP award for 2019.
