Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson got plenty of criticism last offseason for seemingly being a less than stellar passer. While he had some accuracy issues in his rookie campaign, Jackson seriously improved for his second season, leading the league in touchdown passes while breaking several franchise and NFL records in the process. While Baltimore didn’t finish the season in Super Bowl 54, Jackson joined 11 other Ravens in the 2020 Pro Bowl.
During the week of festivities leading up to the Pro Bowl, Jackson showed off his newly improved accuracy. Standing around midfield, Jackson heaved a pass downfield, hitting the bottom crossbar with a satisfying ‘ding.’
Jackson’s Pro Bowl status, stats and likely MVP award for this season should be enough to silence most doubters. But seeing Jackson nail what is effectively a 60-yard pass with deadly accuracy is still something to behold.
After starting just seven regular-season games as a rookie, Jackson was handed the keys to the offense in 2019. He completed 66.1% of his passes for 3,127 yards, 36 passing touchdowns and just six interceptions, while adding another 1,206 rushing yards and seven rushing touchdowns in just 15 games this season.
