Watch: Lamar Jackson Says He Wants to Be the Tom Brady of His Era

Lamar Jackson entered the NFL as a receiver or running back. That’s what most fans saw in him. If you ask him, he will say he is the Tom Brady of his era.

Jackson had an interview with former Ravens wideout Steve Smith on an NFL Network and said he was ready to bring a title to Baltimore. Is this possible? The Baltimore Ravens had a good season, and Jackson is self-confident about his comments.

“Every day I think about the Super Bowl,” he said. “It’s been on my mind since the first game of the season. When I got drafted, I told Baltimore that’s what I was gonna do. I wanna be like the Brady of my era.”

Jackson had one of the greatest individual seasons in NFL history. He was able to throw for 3,127 yards and 36 touchdowns against six interceptions. As if that wasn’t enough, Jackson set an NFL record for rushing yards for a quarterback (1,206) and scoring seven more times. Baltimore had an NFL-best 14-2 regular-season record, and there’s a huge possibility for Jackson to receive the MVP honors.

Super Bowl LIV will be played in Miami, and that’s an hour away from Jackson’s childhood neighborhood. He grew up in Boynton Beach.

“You don’t ever know when the next Super Bowl is gonna be in Florida, and to win the first one and to it be in Florida…I might cry,” he said.

Jackson will have to try really hard to match Brady’s greatness. Let’s not forget that the Patriots quarterback has won six Super Bowls. His resume is full of records and accomplishments. Yes, everyone knows that Brady is the greatest quarterback in NFL history, including his doubters.

We will have to wait for quite some time to see if Lamar Jackson is as great as Tom Brady. TB12 has an impeccable style and an incredible work ethic. It’s good to know that the Ravens player sees Brady as an idol. It’s the greatest compliment Brady will ever receive.

New England is out of the playoff race this season, but they are already planning their next move. Will Brady re-sign with the team?
