Here is a preview of what is inside this Lamar Jackson Chapter 1: Early Childhood, Tragedy and Mama Knows Best Chapter 2: High School Career and Committing to College Chapter 3: College Career - Historic Season and Preparing for the Draft Chapter 4: NFL Career - Rookie Season and MVP Season Chapter 5: Personal Life Chapter 6: Legacy and Future An excerpt from this biography book on Lamar Jackson's When we gather around and discuss the most exciting players in the NFL today, typical names that come to mind include Patrick Mahomes, Kyler Murray, Derrick Henry, Tom Brady, and Christian McCaffrey.
However, over the last year, a new name has emerged and potentially topped that Lamar Jackson. The Baltimore Ravens star quarterback has taken the NFL by storm with his ability to make remarkable and mind-blowing plays with both his arm and his legs and has already broken dozens of NFL records with more certainly to follow.
There have been successful running quarterbacks in the NFL before. Roger Staubach is probably one of the first names that come to mind for many old school fans for his scrambling ability. But in terms of ethnicity, it was Randall Cunningham who really paved the way for black quarterbacks to excel in the league with how he was able to generate plays with his arm and feet. Since then, guys like Steve McNair, Michael Vick, Cam Newton, Warren Moon, Donovan McNabb, and Russell Wilson have come along, making the black quarterback a weapon and asset in the league.
The unfortunate and, at times, racist, criticism aimed at a lot of black quarterbacks in past eras has been that “their accuracy does not match their running ability.” Doug Williams and Warren Moon were accurate passers but were not as big a running threat as Cunningham. Vick’s speed transcended the game to a new level, but his accuracy was his biggest detriment. Old stereotypes and racial barriers have been broken and transcended as mindsets evolve. Today, guys like Wilson and Murray are becoming MVP-like quarterbacks with how they can run and throw accurately.

Wish I would have realized this was a kid’s book when I bought it online, but regardless it is a good book for a young sports fan. As a Louisville fan it was entertaining (again for a children’s book).
