There’s a reason why Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is the current frontrunner to win this year’s league MVP Award. And as the Miami Dolphins prepare for this week’s showdown with the Ravens, defensive coordinator Vic Fangio is learning that.
During a press conference this week, Vic Fangio had some very high praise for Lamar Jackson, saying that the Baltimore Ravens quarterback is “unlike anybody else.”
“Yeah, fair share mobile quarterbacks? Yes. Then there’s Lamar Jackson. He’s unlike anybody else,” Fangio said via a transcript from the team according to Pro Football Talk. “The only other player that’s been like him in the last 50 years is Michael Vick. He’s a tremendous player. Kudos to Ozzie [Newsome] and Eric [DeCosta] for picking him. Thirty-one other teams that passed him by are kicking themselves. He’s really improved over the years. Dynamic with the ball. Good passer. He makes their offense go.”
Jackson has always been a prolific runner, which set him apart from other quarterbacks in the league, but he is having the best season of his career throwing the ball, making him a truly dangerous player.
We’ll have to see how Miami tries to stop him this week.
