Lamar Jackson Isn’t Satisfied

While many quarterbacks would feel content after an MVP season, Lamar Jackson is not. When speaking to Brent Sobleski of Bleacher Report, Jacksons QB Coach had this to say about Jackson’s mindset heading into next season:

He explicitly said to me, ‘They’re preparing for me, but I’m preparing more for them. I’m going to keep a chip on my shoulder.’ He remembers being in that room before becoming the 32nd overall pick. That fuels all of his preparation and where his mindset is. He doesn’t see himself as the MVP; he sees himself as the fifth quarterback taken in his draft class.

This type of attitude is something Jackson’s coaches and teammates love. Lamar wants to go down as a NFL Legend. The chip on his shoulder will never go away. This is something that all greats tend to have. Tom Brady still thinks of himself as a 6th round pick.

Although last season was memorable, it really is just the start for Jackson. As hard as it is to imagine, Lamar Jackson could get better. He will always have doubters, and Jackson is out to prove each one of them wrong. The future is very bright for this young man.
