Fast forward 12 years later, and now he&#8217;s touting Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson as the greatest dual-threat quarterback the league has ever seen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_e9olkhg5k\">That&#8217;s the kind of performance that Jackson delivered for the Ravens in their 41-38 overtime victory over the Cincinnati Bengals in an epic AFC North clash. Among the jaw-dropping plays that occurred in the shootout between the Ravens and Bengals was Jackson fumbling a snap then rolling to his right and throwing across his body as he was a mere yards away from going out of bounds to find tight end Isaiah Likely in the end zone for a six-yard touchdown with 5:24 the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_f8gr1er5o\">&#8220;This play sums everything you need to know about Lamar Jackson,&#8221; Griffin III wrote on X.

Through five games, the Ravens (3-2) quarterback has thrown for 1,206 yards, nine touchdowns and just one interception. He&#8217;s also ran for 363 yards and two touchdowns.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_ouc71tju3\">&#8220;I never cease to be amazed but I&#8217;m always amazed,&#8221; Ravens head coach John\u00a0Harbaugh said on Sunday. &#8220;I just think so much of [Lamar Jackson], and I think so much of his work ethic; and then just the way he plays the game \u2013 it&#8217;s unparalleled. He made plays [and] moved himself out of trouble \u2013 had the ball thrown away \u2013 so many unsung plays where he saved us lost-yardage situations, and he came through.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_7b9cfulk1\">The two-time MVP isn&#8217;t far off from also having the stats to back up RG3&#8217;s claim that&#8217;s the greatest dual-threat quarterback of all time. Jackson is currently third all-time in rushing yards by a quarterback with 5,621, only trailing Michael Vick (6,109) and Cam Newton (5,631). He&#8217;s also five rushing touchdowns away from cracking the top 10 in rushing touchdowns by a quarterback.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagStyle_16dbupz-o_O-style_mxvz7o-o_O-style_12bse5w-o_O-style_6s3kpz\" data-mm-id=\"_npkkq2ox9\">Newton, who holds the record with 75 rushing touchdowns by a quarterback, Vick, Josh Allen, Aaron Rodgers, Steve Young and Randall Cunningham rank in the top 10 in both rushing yards and rushing touchdowns by a quarterback.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lamar Jackson&#8217;s play in the Baltimore Ravens&#8217; win over the Cincinnati Bengals earned him lofty praise.
