Apparently, that was his son, and Jackson just couldn’t get over that moment when Houston and his son synchronously celebrated with super cool handshakes. Instantly, he tweeted saying, “I Have to have a Son next.” This snippet took no time to circulate across social media. It garnered several suggestions from the fans to adopt a kid.

Well, Jackson’s affection towards kids was evident when he met a big young fan even before the game had begun. In New Orleans, a kid named Landon from Mississippi, along with his dad, Jason was waiting to see his idol for the very first time.

Apparently, the kid was suffering from a rare heart condition. And it was his father’s dream to fulfill Landon’s long-time wish to meet Lamar Jackson. “Huge shout out to the Baltimore Ravens and Lamar Jackson for making Landon’s dream come true today,” Jason said after meeting the quarterback.

“It all started over a year ago when Landon said, dad, you know my favorite team is the Baltimore Ravens. And I said, oh really why is that? He said, “…because Lamar Jackson is a beast.” He added.
