The NFL has again has led the way not only in the sports world but breaking into the broadcast history books “never before and maybe never again.  The Commissioner in his home basement with a reported video screen behind him of fans give him the thumb up or down with every draft selection, NFL owners, general managers scouts, and reporters alone in their homes.

2018 NFL Draft 1st round: A game-used jersey worn by Lamar Jackson.

A big topic of debate in the 2018 NFL Draft was whether Lamar Jackson’s tremendous running and scrambling abilities from the University of Louisville would translate in the NFL. The Baltimore Ravens were convinced and traded a second-round pick to the Philadelphia Eagles, moving them back into the first round of the NFL Draft to select Jackson 32nd overall. The Ravens were proven right when Jackson was named a starter in Week 11 of his rookie season and went on to rally the team to the NFL Playoffs. In 2019 he lead the Ravens to an NFL best 14-2 record and was named league MVP. Pictured is jersey Jackson wore on Nov. 10, 2019, against the Cincinnati Bengals when he became only the second QB in NFL history to achieve two perfect passer rating games in the same season. In the game, Jackson also executed his famous “spin move” on a 47-yard touchdown run.
