2. Lamar Jackson will end the season with 1,500 rushing and 4,000 passing yards

Every week that I think Lamar Jackson didn’t have a good game, I look up and see that he threw for nearly 400 yards and four touchdowns. What he has been able to do this season has just been incredible, which is why there should be zero doubt of if he should win the Heisman Trophy.

The National media fell in love with Jackson after he hurdled that defender in Syracuse, but they have been looking for him to fall ever since. However, they failed to notice just how much he has improved in every area of his game this season.

Jackson is going up against four teams that represent very winnable opportunities. The Cardinals will face Boston College, Wake Forest, Houston, and Kentucky before this year is all said and done.

I think that Lamar Jackson’s best games of 2016 are still ahead of him. This team loves being the underdog and they thrive under that spotlight.

Next: Number One

Don’t be surprised when Jackson hits these two statistical goals before the season is over.
