Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson dismissed the perception that other NFL teams will be able to figure him out this upcoming season.

Jackson entered the NFL in 2018 and in his second season, put together a monster season that earned him the league’s Most Valuable Player award.

During that incredible 2019 season, Jackson threw for 3,127 yards and a league-high 36 touchdowns. In addition, he rushed for 1,206 yards and seven touchdowns, while gaining a league-high 6.9 yards per carry.

Last season, he was forced to sit out a game after testing positive for COVID-19, but still managed to deliver major numbers.

For the 2020 campaign, Jackson threw for 2,757 yards and 26 touchdowns, while again breaking the 1,000-yard threshold with 1,005 yards and seven scores. He also once again led the league by averaging 6.3 yards per carry.

The Ravens have clearly been aided by having Jackson on the field.

With the 2021 regular season set to start in a matter of weeks, Jackson is surely excited to prove his doubters wrong.
