Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has dual skills of throwing and rushing. The entire league is aware of his prowess in both aspects of the game. Hence, defenses always have to remain alert to a sudden rush by the youngster. NFL [https://www.nfl.com/] superstar Tom Brady laid down a challenge to the sophomore quarterback to try and one-up him in a race. However, there was a minor catch. TOM BRADY LAYS DOWN AN AMUSING CHALLENGE TO LAMAR JACKSON The veteran quarterback who was in his 20th NFL season with the New England Patriots tweeted, “Me vs Lamar, 40 Yard Dash on natural grass but he has to wear rollerblades. Who’s buying the PPV?” Fans, analysts, and the media were quick to pounce on this and approached Jackson for a response following the Ravens 42-21 demolition of New York Jets. Jackson looked amused by the challenge and responded, “He’s probably going to win that race. Rollerblades on grass? Aw, man, I’m going to see what I can do. Tom’s still got a little bit in him. I’ve seen him.” While the duo hasn’t raced, fans may be sure about the outcome. This is because Brady is not known for his rushing game whatsoever and he will be up against a player 20 years his junior who set a record for most rushing yards in a season by a quarterback. Tom Brady [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/tom-brady-rush-peyton-manning-afc-championship-gamejpg.jpg]Tom Brady makes a rare rush Brady’s highest rushing yards (110) came in 2002 when he was 25-years old. The 6x Super Bowl winner has rushed for a measly 1,037 yards in 285 regular-season games. In 41 playoff games he has rushed 100 yards. Jackson has already surpassed both of Brady’s rushing stats. He has 1,901 yards in 31 regular-season games and 197 yards in 2 postseason fixtures. Also, Brady has never recorded a 40-yard dash in under 5 seconds. He is playing with fire here and it’ll be really interesting to see if Jackson ever takes him up on his offer. It seems unlikely though as roller blades on grass could be dangerous and derail the youngster’s career. Do you think Tom Brady has a shot at winning even with an advantage?

Lamar Jackson

Who is Lamar Jackson? Lamar Demeatrice Jackson Jr. is a quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens in the National Football Conference. He was drafted in the first round of the 2018 NFL draft (32nd overall pick) after he claimed the Heisman Trophy, during his sophomore year. In his rookie season, Lamar Jackson led the team to the playoffs. Alas! They were met with a setback against the Los Angeles Chargers. Oct 24, 2021; Baltimore, Maryland, USA; Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (8) throws a pass in the third quarter against the Cincinnati Bengals at M&amp;T Bank Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Evan Habeeb-USA TODAY Sports| Reuters Given his prowess on the field, he won NFL MVP in 2019â€”his second season in the league. This allowed him to become the fourth African-American quarterback to win this accolade. Additionally, Lamar Jackson became the first quarterback to boast 1,000 rushing yards in multiple seasons as he led the Ravens to their third consecutive playoff appearance, post the NFL MVP title. A random fact about the Ravens&#8217; QB is that Lamar Jackson&#8217;s favorite pregame meal is shrimp Alfredo pasta and that he has been the Madden 21 cover athlete. Lamar Jacksonâ€™s early life Lamar Demeatrice Jackson Jr. was born on January 7, 1997, in Pompano Beach, Florida to Lamar Jackson Sr. and Felicia Jones. The family, comprising Lamar, his younger brother Jamar, and two sisters, shared a tight-knit relationship, despite belonging to a financially distressed neighborhood. Tragedy struck the Jacksons when Lamar Jackson Sr. died in a car accident when the quarterback was only eight years old. To add salt to the wound, his grandmother also passed away on the same day, making that episode one of the most traumatic ones in LJ&#8217;s life. Lamar and his siblings were brought up by a single mother, Felicia Jones. And the quarterback shares a unique bond with her mother. This highlights Felicia&#8217;s role in Lamar Jackson&#8217;s profession as an agent who helps with contract structuring.

Astonishingly, per reports, at the mere age of 8, Jackson was able to throw a football up to 20 yards. After public school, Lamar Jackson joined his Florida high school team which helped him change the trajectory of his career. Lamar Jackson&#8217;s personal life Jackson is relatively private about his personal affairs. However, he has been in a relationship with Louisville&#8217;s sweetheart, Jaime Taylor, for almost six years. Not many details are revealed about Jaime Taylor, except that the two went to the same high school. However, they reportedly met at the University of Louisville and have been together ever since. Additional information concerning Lamar Jackson&#8217;s girlfriend is that she is an ardent Harry Potter fan, due to this, Lamar Jackson even wore a Harry Potter costume once during Halloween to surprise her. Furthermore, Lamar Jackson also has a daughter named Milan. Reportedly, she has taken her dad&#8217;s surnameâ€”Jackson. The adorable child was born on January 4, 2021. Even though Lamar Jackson is a rather private individual on social media, a couple of times he has uploaded pictures of his daughter including on her birthday. While sources are revealing Jaime Taylor to be the mother of Milan (nicknamed Lani by Lamar Jackson), it has not been confirmed either by Jackson or Taylor. Also, no information regarding their marriage or a possible webbing has made the news. Lamar Jackson&#8217;s net worth 2024 Lamar Jackson is an NFL quarterback who is currently a part of the Baltimore Ravens roster. Lovingly nicknamed &#8216;Action Jackson&#8217; by his fans, Lamar Jackson is slated to be one of the greatest quarterbacks of his generation. Thus, it is not surprising to witness his net worth to be more than $40 million, per Celebrity Net Worth. All thanks to the whopping $260 million contract he signed last year, Lamar Jackson&#8217;s net worth has skyrocketed. His average annual salary is estimated to be around $52 million. In the 2023-2024 season, this amount is estimated to come close to $80 million, all thanks to the massive $72.5 million signing bonus received by Lamar Jackson. This boasted his base salary to $7.5 million. While the numbers do vouch in favor of Lamar Jackson, his commitment to the underserved is also noteworthy. In 2018, Jackson held autograph signings in Louisville, which received charitable donations of $29,000. Out of this, $25,000 was given to Blessings in Backpacks and the remaining went to Mission for Hope. The quarterback helps empower the less privileged youth to excel in education and athletics through mentorship and means at his The Lamar Jackson Foundation.Â Other than that, Lamar Jackson was captured donating turkeys during the Thanksgiving holidays and supporting the COVID-19 relief efforts. His primary source of income is his football career. However, endorsement deals and investments have also helped boost the net worth of Lamar Jackson.  Lamar Jackson&#8217;s career timeline Lamar Jackson went to Boynton Beach High School in Florida. During his two years of quarterbacking them, Lamar played a total of 16 games, throwing for 2263 yards and 31 touchdowns, and running for 1624 yards and 22 touchdowns. Due to his simultaneous contributions to the school&#8217;s track team, where he posted a personal-best 11.45 seconds in a 100m dash, Lamar was awarded the Lou Groza Palm Beach County High School Player of the Year Title in 2014. And this stellar read-option and dual-threat display caught the attention of multiple college programs from all over the country. Action Jackson chose Louisville over some competing Power Five programs like Florida and Auburn. Lamar Jackson joined Louisville as a communication major and quickly made his mark on the gridiron. The passer led the Cardinals to an 8-5 season in his 2015 freshman year.Â Lamar passed for 1840 yards scoring 12 touchdowns. Also, he ran for an additional 11 rushing TDs over 960 yards. Lamar earned the 2015 Music City Bowl MVP award and set the passing yardage and touchdown record for the Bowl game. Jackson&#8217;s sophomore year was the stuff of dreams. His 3543 passing yards, 30 touchdowns, 1571 rushing yards, and 21 rushing touchdowns for a 9-4 Cardinals season were enough to earn him the 2016 Heisman Trophy over finalists and future NFL stars like Deshaun Watson and Baker Mayfield. Jackson became the first-ever Heisman Winner from Louisville and the youngest winner in the award&#8217;s history, winning it at 19.

The Ravens defeated the Titans 20-13. (Photo by Wesley Hitt/Getty Images) His excellence on the field continued in college, which eventually, helped him secure a place in the first round in the 2018 NFL Draft with the Ravens. Lamar didn&#8217;t take too long to adjust to the big league. After subbing in for injured starter Joe Flacco during a 47-3 win against the Bills, Lamar never had to look back. Winning six of the seven games he started, a 21-year-old Lamar became the youngest NFL quarterback to play in the postseason. Although the season ended with a 23-17 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, Lamar came back stronger in year 2. In 2019, Lamar Jackson became the second unanimous NFL MVP afterÂ Tom BradyÂ in 2010. And he did this by playing some mind-boggling football. Setting career-highs in single-game passing yards (324) and touchdowns (5) in the season-opener against Miami, Action Jackson looked like a force to be feared right from the start. Jackson continued his form in the 2020-21 season, becoming the first quarterback to have multiple 1000-yard rushing seasons. Despite injuries factoring in during the following two seasons, Jackson made his second Pro Bowl in 2021. In 2022, Jackson once again showed glimpses of the 2019 season when he bagged the AFC Offensive Player of the Month in September. However, a sprained PCL brought the season to an end for Jackson. The Ravens, despite going 10-7 lost to AFC North rivalsÂ Cincinnati BengalsÂ in the first round of the playoffs. Lamar Jackson has taken the Ravens to the playoffs five times since joining them. However, the dynamic quarterback often fails to carry the stellar regular season form into the postseason. LJ has a postseason record of 2-4, although technically, he did not play in the 2022 playoffs. His recent loss came against the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship round with a score of 17-10.Â  Lamar Jackson&#8217;s contracts In 2023, Lamar Jackson signed a $260 million contract with the Baltimore Ravens, making him the highest-paid NFL player after surpassing Jalen Hurts of the Eagles. This contract allowed him to earn $52 million with $185 million guaranteed. Astonishingly, the million-dollar contract was almost twenty-three folds higher than the contract he signed when he was first drafted. In 2018, as Lamar Jackson signed a 4-year deal with the Ravens it was worth $9.5 million. It included a $4,968,471 signing bonus and $7,575,059 guaranteed. This contract worth millions was a total shocker in the NFL realm as it was only the first time in league history that a football player accumulated the amount without an agent. Jackson had his mom with him at the negotiation table. Another interesting aspect of Lamar Jackson&#8217;s contract is that, before the 2022 NFL season, he was offered a deal worth $230 million with over $100 million guaranteed. However, the quarterback took a step back from the deal as he believed his worth to be much more than that, especially after Deshaun Watson got that number in guaranteed money from the Cleveland Browns. And he did prove to be right as right after signing the extension in the 2023 NFL offseason, the Ravens&#8217; QB went on to have one of his best seasons since 2019. Not only did Lamar Jackson have his career-high 3,678 passing yards but his completion percentage was also 67.2. Lamar Jacksonâ€™s partnerships and endorsements Being without an agent has its drawbacks and Lamar Jackson&#8217;s endorsement deals are proof for the same. While arguably the best-ever running QB of the NFL should be at the forefront of many deals, there are far fewer contracts held by him. Some of his current contracts include: Play Action Soulfood and More Oakley Inc. NFL Pro Era Oakley is a company that deals with football apparel like football helmets and sunglasses. Meanwhile, Play Action is a soul food restaurant chain and NFL Pro Era projects a VR simulation series with Jackson in its first NFL and NFLPA licensed series.Â  Apart from these, Lamar Jackson has also featured in numerous commercials. One of the most iconic appearances of Lamar Jackson has been in a Pizza Hut commercial, Nike, Hulu, Bose, and Oakley. His investments, mostly include start-ups. One of the known ventures of the football quarterback is in real estate. He has also bought a few properties in Baltimore including a $1.5 million mansion. Furthermore, his business savvy has witnessed him starting his own clothing line named Era 8 Apparel. This line of clothing targets men, women, and young people. Not only does it promote the style of an athlete but also partners with other clothing and non-clothing brands and companies to promote youth development. Lamar Jackson&#8217;s career stats and records Lamar Jackson has an impressive number of 15,887 passing yards to show on his resume. In 2,112 attempts, he has 1,362 passing completions, leading to a completion rate of 64.5%. The Ravens&#8217; QB has made 125 Passing Touchdowns and 29 Rushing Touchdowns while covering 5,258 rushing yards. In the 2023 season, he gained a QB rating of 64.7, which ranked him fourth in the NFL. His passer rating post the latest season is at 98.0. Lamar Jackson has been able to garner multiple records to his name ever since he entered the National Football League. He holds the record of being the first quarterback with multiple 1000-yard rushing seasons (2009, 2020). He also is the first QB with five 700+ rushing yards seasons in a career (2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023). He also became the first player in 2019 to reach 3000 passing yards and 1000 rushing yards in a single season. Jackson hosts the record for most rushing yards by a QB in a season: 1,206 (2019) and most rushing attempts by a QB in a season: 159 (2019).

LJ also holds the most wins by a QB under the age of 25 (35 victories). He has his name etched on the astonishing record of being the youngest QB to achieve a perfect passer rating, at the age of 22 years and 244 days. He also has most games with 100 rushing yards by a QB (12) along with most playoff games with 100 rushing yards by a quarterback (3). The Ravens captain boasts enormous records for his franchise as well. He holds the most passing and rushing yards by a QB in a game for Ravens, 442 and 152 respectively. He also has the most passing TDs in a single season at 36. He is tied with legendary Joe Flacco and Tony Banks for most passing touchdowns in a game(5). The record for most consecutive games with a touchdown pass for the Baltimore side also is with Jackson at 15. His exceptional season in 2019 brings him 2 more spectacular records. He has the highest completion percentage in a game at 88.2 and the highest passer rating at 113.3 in the same season. The season of 2019 also brings him the lowest percentage of passes intercepted at 1.5. Lamar Jackson&#8217;s house and car collection With over $32 million in estimated earnings over the years, Action Jackson has splurged a million and more on a lavish mansion in the suburban outskirts of Baltimore, just 20 minutes from the Baltimore Ravens facility. When it comes to cars, Lamar owns a modified Mercedes SL500 Grand Edition worth nearly $275,000 and recently purchased a Rolls Royce Wraith that set him back by $343,000. Action Jackson also likes the bling as he spends quite a lot on pendants and jewelry for himself and his family. How to contact Lamar Jackson?

Tom Brady

Who is Tom Brady? Tom Brady is regarded as one of the NFL&#8217;s greatest quarterbacks of all time. He has won the most Super Bowls in NFL history and is considered one of the biggest steals in NFL Draft history. The New England Patriots drafted the Michigan prospect at 199th overall in the 2000 NFL draft. He stayed with the New England Patriots for 20 seasons, winning several divisional titles, nine AFC Championships, and seven Super Bowls. However, he left the Patriots and joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers ahead of the 2020 NFL season.

(Photo by Norm Hall/Getty Images) After leading the Buccaneers to the Super Bowl LV trophy in 2021, Brady signed a 2-year extension with Tampa Bay. He retired after the 2021-2022 NFL campaign, following his Divisional Round loss against the Los Angeles Rams. However, he decided to return to the league after just 40 days. Alas, last year in 2023, Tom Brady said goodbye to his professional football career through a short but heart-warming clip. Now, he enjoys his time with his family and focuses on off-gridiron ventures. Tom Bradyâ€™s early life and family Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr. was born in the state of California, in the city of San Mateo. He is the fourth child of Galynn Patricia and Thomas Brady Sr, before which they had three daughters. He was raised as a Catholic and belonged to a family of mixed ethnicities. While Brady is Irish from his father&#8217;s side, his mother belongs to a diverse ancestry of Sweden, Norway, Germany, and Poland. His father often jokingly calls himself the &#8216;Original Tom Brady&#8217;. Laying the foundation of an insurance company, the father of four transferred his work ethic and his zest to continue on the path of victory to his son. Brady Jr&#8217;s mother Galynn has always been known as the pillar of strength in his more than 2 decade-long career. She suffered through extremely tough times during her diagnosis of breast cancer but was quick to recover in 2017. His parents still live together in his childhood home back in California. As a child, Brady was raised in an extremely competitive environment with three sisters- Maureen, Julie, and Nancy. Maureen is the oldest of them all and remained inclined toward the sports world as well. She earned a name for herself by being the All-Star American softball pitcher at Fresno State. While she shifted her career path to nursing soon after, her sisters surely followed her into the game of softball. Nancy moved on from the sport to become a Public Health Technical Advisor. Julie, the sister who shares the closest bond with Tom Brady, married former Boston Red Sox player Kevin Youkilis. Currently, all three of them are busy raising their kids and living with their families, rarely gaining an opportunity to have a get-together.

He was known to be passionate about various sports from his school days, including Basketball, Baseball, and his future goal- Football. Tom Brady ended up securing 3702 yards and 31 touchdowns in his high school career. He went to the University of Michigan after completing his initial schooling, where he got a Bachelor of Arts in General Studies. There he gave up the opportunity to pursue professional baseball and focused on his football journey. Brady always credits Joe Montana and the San Francisco 49ers to be the massive reason behind his passion for the sport. That is what led him to continue with football despite not getting a chance to play in his University team for almost 2 years. Yet, after joining the side, the Quarterback secured 4773 passing yards and 30 TD passes in his college career. He led the Michigan Wolverines to become a strong side, remaining a squad member that grabbed the victory in the 1997 National Championship. While Brady was a known name in the college football world, he still entered the NFL only as the 199th pick of the draft. He was picked in the sixth round in 2000 by the New England Patriots. Astonishingly, he did not have a lot of hype surrounding him in his initial entry into the National Football League. Brady was the seventh QB to get selected that year. Yet, his long-time team Patriots recognized some passion and determination in him to make Brady a part of their squad despite hosting enough talent for the season. Tom Brady&#8217;s personal life Tom Brady&#8217;s dating life has been under the limelight since he rose to fame in the NFL arena. More often than not, it is his ex-wife Gisele BÃ¼ndchen who is associated with the football legend. There have been a couple of actresses Tom Brady had dated before her. One of the prominent names is the &#8216;Sex and the City&#8217; star, Bridget Moynahan. They dated for more than a couple of years, and during this period, the actress was spotted with Brady on many occasions. These included the victory party after the New England Patriots beat the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl XXXVIII, the 2005 Vanity Fair Oscars party, and the 2006 Met Gala. Alas! The couple split in December 2006, and Brady started dating BÃ¼ndchen. However, the following year, Moynahan announced that she was three months pregnant with Tom Brady&#8217;s child. Their son, John &#8220;Jack&#8221; Edward Thomas Moynahan, was born on August 22, 2007. Since then, Brady and Moynahan have been co-parenting Jack. The eldest son of Brady shares many traits with the superstar former quarterback. He enjoys playing many sports, including football and basketball. Gisele BÃ¼ndchen has also been a vital part of his upbringing. Eventually, Tom Brady married Gisele BÃ¼ndchen in 2009. They got married twice &#8211; the first ceremony was carried out at St. Monica Catholic Church in California and the second ceremony was at BÃ¼ndchen&#8217;s Costa Rica home. NEW YORK, NY &#8211; MAY 06: Tom Brady (L) and Gisele Bundchen attend the Costume Institute Gala for the &#8220;PUNK: Chaos to Couture&#8221; exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 6, 2013 in New York City. (Photo by Michael Stewart/Getty Images) In June 2009, the supermodel announced that they were expecting their first child together, Benjamin Brady. Unlike his older brother, Benjamin isn&#8217;t much fond of sports. However, now and then he indulges in the game of football. In 2012, they were blessed with a daughter, Vivian Lake Brady. She is a fan of many sports, prominently, tennis and horse riding. Despite the love and support they showcased each other, the couple separated ways in October 2022. This was after Tom Brady returned to the NFL arena following his retirement earlier that year. The couple announced that their children are their utmost priority, and they will work together as parents to ensure that they receive love and attention. After Brady and BÃ¼ndchen&#8217;s divorce, there were speculations about who the NFL legend might be dating next. Rumors aired of Tom Brady being involved with Russian model Irina Shayk. Per Page Six, the pair returned to Brady&#8217;s Los Angeles home after he picked Shayk up at Hotel Bel-Air last year. Similar speculations surrounded the duo from time to time. But nothing was confirmed from either of the parties. Just more than a week back, Us reported how the two have met several times a week and a source revealed that both Brady and Shayk are trying to maintain a relationship out of the public eye. Tom Brady&#8217;s net worth in 2024 The former NFL quarterback has a whopping net worth of $300 million and a salary of $30 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. He has been able to accumulate this lucrative wealth because of the glorious NFL career he has had. Apart from the football gridiron, Brady also owns several businesses and has numerous investments. During his time with the New England Patriots (2000 to 2019), Tom Brady was estimated to have earned $235 million in salary and bonuses, adding up to $350 million earned over his time with the New England Patriots. After this, when he joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he signed a $50 million contract, and then $15 million more was added to this in 2022. In the same year, Forbes listed Tom Brady as the highest-paid NFL player with $30 million in earnings on the field and $45 million through endorsements and business deals.

Tom Brady&#8217;s NFL journey &#8211; coaches and teams In his over two-decade-long career, Tom Brady played for only two teams- the New England Patriots and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. While he spent 20 years with the New England Patriots, he ended his career in 2022 with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. During his time with the Patriots, the Quarterback revealed feeling lucky to have played under the &#8220;greatest coach in the NFL.&#8221; He was referring to the most experienced presence in the league and a person who is a constant name besides Brady- Bill Belichick. The coach and QB share a strong bond, which brought their side 17 Divisional titles besides the Super Bowl success. The Head Coach of the New England side played the most crucial role in his career.

He worked as the Patriots&#8217; Quarterback&#8217;s coach and Offensive Coordinator from 2004-08 and 2012-19. Brady often refers to McDaniels as his &#8220;Brother for life,&#8221; reflecting on the massive role the offense expert played in his journey. At last, it was the head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers during Brady&#8217;s era who played a crucial role in his comeback. It was none other than Bruce Arians with whom the QB won his last Super Bowl, adding a star to the coaching legacy of Arians. The time with the New England Patriots saw Tom Brady at his peak. He became the most successful QB in the NFL under this side, also securing most Super Bowl victories for any side under a single Quarterback and Coach duo. How many Super Bowl wins does Tom Brady have? The NFL legend Tom Brady went on to win 6 Super Bowl titles (XXXVI, XXXVII, XXXIX, XLIX, LI, LII) with Bill Belichick as his coach under the Patriots. His time in Buccaneers&#8217; camp, though short, witnessed Tom Brady registering another Super Bowl title (LV) to his name under coach Arians. From his 7 SBs, he won the first Lombardi trophy against the Los Angeles Rams in 2002 with a score of 20-17. In 2004 and 2005, he grabbed back-to-back trophies against the Carolina Panthers and Philadelphia Eagles respectively. His fourth title came after a long gap of ten years in 2015 against the Seattle Seahawks, after which he soon grabbed the fifth title in 2017 against the Atlanta Falcons. The final trophy with the Patriots for Brady came against the Los Angeles Rams in the 2019 season. Later, he bid adieu to the NFL world with his last trophy in 2021 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Tom Brady&#8217;s retirement from the NFL and life after retirement The NFL G.O.A.T. retired on February 1, 2023, again. In 2022, he first announced his retirement but only to return 40 days later. However, last year, Tom Brady, through a social media post, announced, &#8220;Good morning, guys. I&#8217;ll get to the point right away. I&#8217;m retiring. For good.&#8221; Elaborating on the same, he thanked his family, friends, and fans and mentioned how he already made a &#8220;super emotional retirement essay.&#8221; Thus, this time, it won&#8217;t be long-winded.
