19. Lamar Jackson hurdling a Syracuse defensive back

If there was one play that could be the poster for a Heisman Trophy winner, Lamar Jackson had his against Syracuse in week two. The Cards were already dominating on offense and putting the entire country on watch. Then, Lamar Jackson took the snap and hurdled Cordell Hudson for another touchdown.

This play has become the background image on many of our phones, the highlight reel that we always watch before a game, and one of the biggest reasons why we will always love Lamar Jackson.

What was even more amusing was watching Syracuse QB Eric Dungey try and hurdle a Cardinal defender later in the game. Needless to say, he isn’t as athletic as Jackson, therefore he landed right on his back.

Thank you Lamar Jackson, keep making us jump up from our seats in excitement.
