Former NFL RB LeSean McCoy believes Ravens QB Lamar Jackson is unfairly criticized

The Baltimore Ravens drafted Lamar Jackson with the 32nd pick in the 2018 NFL draft. They selected him intending to make him the franchise’s future, which has paid off quite well for the two-time Super Bowl-winning organization in multiple ways.

Despite Jackson’s success at the NFL level, he has faced massive criticism since entering the league. Former NFL running back LeSean McCoy doesn’t believe some of the consistent talking points around Jackson are fair, saying that the energy isn’t the same for Jackson as it is for some of the other quarterbacks in the league.

Jackson has won two MVP awards, broken countless records, and showed that he’s one of the most dominant players in the NFL today. While his playoff performance and playoff record might be disappointing based on expectations, it is unfair to base all opinions of the quarterback on that alone.
