Here’s what Ravens star quarterback Lamar Jackson recorded for his 40-yard sprint time within the 2018 NFL Combine.
If there was a quarterback comparability for Baltimore Ravens’ Lamar Jackson within the 2023 NFL Combine, it might be Florida’s Anthony Richardson, who recently broke combine records in the broad jump and vertical jump.
The NFL Combine has traditionally given draft prospects a chance to point out off their freakish skills in a wide range of athletic measurables, however Lamar Jackson didn’t precisely observe the script again in 2018.
Jackson refused to run the 40-yard sprint on the NFL Combine or at Louisville’s Pro Day. He apparently opted out of working the 40-yard sprint on the mix after a staff’s scout approached him about the potential of changing to broad receiver; Jackson then determined to solely take part in throwing drills.
His alternative to sit down out of the 40-yard sprint clearly didn’t have an effect on his draft inventory as Jackson was finally chosen by the Ravens with the thirty second general decide. Jackson has since developed into one of many league’s premier dual-threat quarterbacks and has damaged a number of franchise and NFL speeding information, together with the single-season quarterback speeding file with 1,206 yards in 2019.
