Adams' High Praise for Lamar Jackson

As he enters his 11th NFL season, Davante Adams has made waves by labeling Lamar Jackson the best ball-carrier ever. This statement comes just days before their much-anticipated matchup on Sunday, where Adams will face the Baltimore Ravens' quarterback for the first time.

Historical Context of Jackson

• First quarterback to eclipse 1,000 yards twice
• 14 career games with over 100 rushing yards
• Ranked third in career QB rushing yards

Adams' Aspirations

Mike Adams has also turned to Jackson for inspiration in improving his own game. He shared, “I was literally finding myself watching Lamar Jackson highlights…”, revealing how he aims to enhance his skills, particularly at breaking tackles after the catch.

The Upcoming Matchup

This Sunday’s game not only marks their first time sharing the field but also a crucial battle between the Las Vegas Raiders and Baltimore Ravens. While Adams won’t be assigned to defend Jackson, both players are undoubtedly significant threats on the field. Adams summarized his thoughts on Jackson by stating, “helluva football player.”
