Tom Brady challenges Lamar Jackson to a race in the 40-yard dash — with a catch

No matter the circumstances, Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is going to be the favorite to win in a foot race against Tom Brady. But Brady had an idea to even the odds.

Jackson set a new NFL record for rushing yards by a quarterback in an NFL season by surpassing Michael Vick’s record (1,039) on Thursday night in Week 15. During the game, Brady issued a challenge on social media. The New England Patriots quarterback wanted to race Jackson — but Brady had a few stipulations.

“Me vs Lamar, 40 Yard Dash on natural grass but he has to wear rollerblades. Who’s buying the PPV?” Brady asked in a tweet on Thursday night.

I repeat: you’ve got to take Jackson.
