Lamar Jackson, Worth Just $4 Million, Discusses Becoming a Billionaire With LeBron James, Worth $850 Million

Lamar Jackson, the Baltimore Ravens young quarterback seems to be quite unhappy with his performance and the ever-evolving pro football league. While talking to the UNINTERRUPTED’s ‘The Shop’ Jackson opened up on various factors including his life and thoughts on and off the field. He shared the platform with some of the finest icons of the digital industry and his inspiration LeBron James.

Jackson, the 25-year-old star, claimed that he holds room for improvement in his professional career. Jackson believes that his opponents are overpowering his strengths and strategies and are gradually getting a grip on his style. It’s not just the game that he wants to improve but also the financial aspect of his career. The unanimous league MVP dreams of being at par with the NBA star LeBron James.

Not just a Champion, but a Billionaire too!

Over the years of rigorous play and improvements, Jackson has evolved much more than just a player. However, he is unsatisfied with his current performance. With the Ravens unable to make an impact in the post-season for the last 8-9 years, it is getting tough for him to cut through the competition. The rookie will be playing his last year according to the official contract and so far no updates on his future have been made.

Jackson is heading up for his fifth year in the league and is on the way to finding a more ‘matured’ version of himself. When asked about the life lessons he would take from the NBA legend LeBron James, he said, “Everything. Being a champion. I feel like that’s the one thing I wanna take from him if anything else. Being a champion and being a billionaire”.

Indeed, that’s what makes him a special player because he dares to dream. Even though Jackson is far behind to match with the 37-year-old veteran, he aspires to reach the mark one day.

Lamar Jackson will have to grind more!

No doubt, leading from the front Jackson is deprived of a title, but he has been a successful player for the team. With an overall 38 wins from the 53 starts, the star was crowned as the league MVP in 2019. He was able to reach two pro bowls and become the backbone of the team for the last 4 years.

It’s still a matter of discussion if the Ravens will retain their quarterback for the future. However, Baltimore’s general manager Eric DeCosta is optimistic for his star player and believes that Jackson is the one who envisions a Superbowl title for the team. But all goes down to one aspect that’s the pay which will decide their plans. This year as a part of his 5th-year contract, Jackson is set to receive $23.1 million, the highest pay in his entire NFL career so far. It’s yet to see how Jackson finds his way to reach the Billionaire mark!
