No. 5 – Lamar Jackson takes over as starter of Baltimore Ravens and leads them to 6-1 finish clinching AFC North

Lost in the shuffle of Jackson’s playoff loss from 2019 is also just how special his play was in the back half of the Ravens’ season.

Entering for the injured Joe Flacco, Jackson was thrust into a situation with a below .500 team trying desperately to save their head coach and salvage the remainder of the season.

All Jackson did was completely turn the Ravens’ season around and win six out of the last seven games.

Like in the start of his college career, there were serious hurdles along the way, but the fact that Jackson won so many plays and so many games on sheer athleticism alone is unbelievable.

No 4 – Winning the 2016 Heisman Trophy

It will always be one of the greatest highlights of his career.

The first Louisville player to ever win the Heisman trophy.

Statue coming soon.

No. 3 – Jackson puts the nation on notice against Florida State

Obviously, the spin into the endzone to cap off a blowout win against the No. 2 team in the country is going to be remembered forever.

However, Jackson was simply special in Louisville’s dismantling of Florida State in 2016.

This is a day that Louisville fans will remember fondly forever.

No. 2 – The Lamar Leap

Perhaps the greatest feat of sheer athleticism, raw talent, and creativeness in Jackson’s career. The play that truly put him on Heisman watch amid a six-touchdown game.

No. 1 – Jackson puts the Bengals in a blender

There’s always talk about college players having a “Heisman moment,” but Jacksons dynamic run against the Bengals may be seen as his “MVP moment.”

One to grow on – Lamar Jackson trolls radio personality after “interesting” comments

Nobody gives the exact number of licks on your birthday, do they? So why would we short you great Lamar Jackson content?

This last moment could be one of the most underrated troll jobs in sports history.

Just days after a San Francisco 49ers sports talk radio host made rather egregious statements about Jackson’s skin color impacting his running style, Jackson took the field with a message.

And MAN was it glorious.

We know Lamar to be a quiet, low-key guy so with his team taking the field against an NFL playoff team it felt odd to see him use that as a platform to troll.

Ultimately he took the sleeves off and led the Ravens to one of their many huge victories.

Happy Birthday, Lamar.
