NFL players love trying their hands at other sports. Some light leisure off the field works well in keeping the intensity going and avoids making sports mundane. Recently, one of the Baltimore Ravens stars was seen trying his hands at a different sport. However, the young QB struggled to play the sport since he never tried it before.

Recently, Lamar Jackson shared an Instagram story. The Ravens QB is seen struggling and practicing his “weird swing” as he tries playing golf at his house. Lamar obviously seems like a novice for the sport and aims the swing far too low! However, the good-humored 2019’s Most Valuable NFL player hilariously plays off the entire part. He also goes for a warmup prior to sending the ball across from the golf blade. Smiley Face laughed off as he struggled to hit the ball with panache. Does he finally nail the hit? We will find it out soon!
