When he reached a top speed of 21 MPH in 2021, everybody realized that this QB would emerge as a star. The 26-year-old then in the offseason inked his name as one of the highest-paid quarterbacks in the league. And once again, it seems he is putting his team’s belief to the right use.

As the NFL season’s Week 8 is underway, football enthusiasts have picked up the names of their favorites. Among these, one is of Patrick Mahomes and the other is of Lamar Jackson. These two world-class players have become two of the top candidates for the MVP, and with a recent blazing score of 38-6 against the Lions, Jackson has proved his worth, that now he is closer to Mahomes and the legend Tom Brady.

Lamar Jackson is the new shining light!

There is no doubt that Patrick Mahomes is the young GOAT of the NFL. But it seems, with the latest performances this season, Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson is also inching closer to his legacy. Recently, the JPAFootball Twitter page listed three starting quarterbacks of the NFL with the most points per game in the Super Bowl Era.

The list included Patrick Mahomes at the top with 29.9 points, followed by Tom Brady (New England Patriots) in second place with 27.8 points. Lamar Jackson is just a few points behind, coming in third with 27.4 points. Being referred to as the “generational talent,” Jackson is making his name in the elite quarterbacks of the NFL. So far in this season, the 26-year-old QB threw for 1,610 yards, and eight touchdowns, relying on his deep passes, and effective running ability.

With just mere points away from 7x SB champ Tom Brady and 2x SB champ Patrick Mahomes, could he be the next Super Bowl champ and MVP? Well, probably he can, as once Lamar Jackson challenged Tom Brady, he might break or even touch his NFL records.

Lamar Jackson thinks to get 7 Super Bowls?

Last year when the Ravens were set to face off against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the season’s Week 8 game, ahead of the showdown, Bucs QB Tom Brady posted an enigmatic message for Lamar Jackson. Brady posted a picture of himself and the 26-year-old QBs and wrote a caption of “You’re Next” on his IG. When asked in a press conference, Jackson replied, “He’s got seven of them, so hopefully that’s what I’m next to.”

He playfully responded to the challenge posed by Brady and stated that Brady might be hinting that he is next in line behind him, and will aim to win seven Super Bowls like him. Interestingly proving his worth and statements, during that showdown, Jackson led his team 27-22 victory over Tom Brady and his struggling Buccaneers with his 238 yards thrown and two TDs after half-time.

As he won that anticipated matchup, this time again, football enthusiasts are going wild to see Lamar Jackson breaking more records debuting his SB championship, and creating histories, with his insane agility and speed at the gridiron. He probably in upcoming years, will leave behind the legends Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes.
