Lamar Jackson has a fan in Texans head coach DeMeco Ryan. As the Houston head coach prepares to stop Baltimore’s star quarterback on Christmas Day, he’s saying everything to make Jackson comfortable.
Ahead of a Monday practice, Ryans said Jackson is “definitely the MVP” when describing the Ravens quarterback’s strong play this season.
“Lamar is playing some of the best football he’s played,” Ryans said. “He definitely jumps off the tape as the best player I’ve seen this year. Talk about the MVP? He’s definitely the MVP in my mind for what he’s doing not only run game-wise, but throwing the football, the accuracy, the decision-making. He’s playing unbelievable ball right now, so he’s going to be a really tough challenge for us this week.”
