Just two years into his NFL career, Lamar Jackson has led the league in touchdowns with 36, led the Ravens to a 19-3 and led the entire NFL with an approximate value of 25, which is Pro Football Reference's attempt to attach a numerical value to each player's production.
He's won an MVP. He's been considered one of the most difficult players to defend throughout the whole league. He holds the NFL single-season rushing record for a quarterback.
Blah, blah, blah, says Ohio State prospect Chase Young, we think (that's not a direct quote). What is a direct quote from Young, though, is that he would take on Lamar Jackson in the open field with "100% confidence," as he shared on ESPN's "Get Up".

April 15, 2020 You have to like the confidence if you're a Redskins fan, as it seems like most analysts see it as an inevitability that Washington will end up with Young as the No. 2. However, there are also murmurs that the team likes prospects like Isaiah Simmons and Tua Tagovailoa, meaning that their pick isn't as set in stone as some may think.
