    • Lamar Jackson decided not to do most of these drills because he was afraid teams would view him as more of a wide receiver than a quarterback.
  • Strengths
    • Mobile
      • Lamar Jackson is best when running.
      • Is the best running quarterback in the 2018 NFL Draft.
    • Is very fast.
    • Decent arm strength.
  • Weaknesses
    • Undersized at 6’2″.
    • Not very accurate compared to other quarterbacks in this draft class.
    • Lacks the precision necessary for NFL grade touch passes.
    • Risky ball handling.
      • Tends not to tuck and run, but hold the ball out with his arm.
  • Notable Injury History
    • Nothing of note.
  • Tape Watched
  • Impressions
    • Will not translate well into an NFL system as a quarterback.
    • Would be better suited as a wide receiver or running back with his build and running ability.
    • He’s basically the next Tim Tebow.
    • Did not show his arm strength enough for me to properly evaluate it.
    • Will need major work and to be benched for a few seasons to develop as a passer.
  • Statistics

Lamar Jackson Louisville Draft Predictions

  • Grade
    • 6.4/10.0
  • Projected round
    • The first round.
  • Best Value
    • Between the fourth and fifth round.
  • Probable Target for the Baltimore Ravens?
    • No, The Baltimore Ravens will not target Lamar Jackson. He simply would not fit the offense that Marty Mornhinweg runs. There are other quarterbacks in the draft that would be able to adapt to the NFL and the Ravens’ offense better than Lamar Jackson.
