Lamar Jackson Drops 22 Spots in Pete Prisco's Top 100 Rankings
It was hard to believe Lamar Jackson, coming off his unanimous league MVP season, didn't crack the top five in CBS Sports' Pete Prisco Top 100 Players Rankings last year.
This year, the Ravens quarterback barely cracked the top 30. Prisco placed Jackson at No. 29, down from No. 7 in 2020.
Six quarterbacks were ranked ahead of Jackson on this year's list: Patrick Mahomes (No. 1), Aaron Rodgers (No. 3), Tom Brady (No. 4), Russell Wilson (No. 8), Josh Allen (No. 10) and Deshaun Watson (No. 23).
"His play trailed off some in 2020 after winning the MVP in 2019," Prisco wrote. "But he is still a dangerous quarterback who can take over a game. He should be better as a passer in his third full season as a starter in 2021."
No matter how much Jackson accomplishes, it seems that some pundits will always undervalue him.
It's true that Jackson didn't play as well as he did in his historic 2019 season, but he did become the only quarterback in NFL history to rush for 1,000 yards in multiple seasons.
Jackson also continued to win games. He went 11-4 as a starter and is 30-7 (.811) in his career. He's 5-0 in the regular season against the four quarterbacks ranked directly ahead of him.
Jackson also won a playoff game last season to join Dan Marino and Mahomes as the only players to capture an MVP award and win a playoff game by their age-23 season. His 87 total touchdowns before turning 24 are the most in NFL history.
