There have been a lot of slanders geared toward Lamar Jackson and it seems a tad bit unnecessary. While he should be hot in the market right now, some interesting reasons from an NFL team owner have made him less than desirable for teams. However, with the way the league, critics, and analysts have functioned, it seems like there is an evident double standard and Jackson is the poster child. For example, there have been a lot of other NFL players with weird quirks that haven’t been ostracized as much as Jackson has been. However, the slander continues no more.

In response to this, some voices have raised their support for Jackson. One of his teammates from the Baltimore Ravens spoke vehemently and voiced out his support for the QB. It seems like the teammate had enough of Jackson’s slander and he went off with his support for his old teammate.
