Daniel Jeremiah, an NFL Network analyst, would prefer to start over when it comes to rating Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson as an NFL prospect.
Jeremiah remarked on Wednesday, “I wish I could go back and have a higher grade on Lamar.” “He was my 32nd player, I believe.”
Jackson was actually ranked 39th by Jeremiah in his final draft rankings, seven spots lower than the Ravens’ selection of him following a trade-up with the Philadelphia Eagles for the last first-round pick.
While Jeremiah didn’t have him ranked the highest out of insiders and draft sites (Mel Kiper had Jackson at 15th and PFF had him at 19th), he was one of the closest to predict where Jackson would go. But none – including those who ranked him highest – predicted what Jackson would one day become: a two-time NFL MVP, one vote short of being the first two-time unanimous MVP.
