Lamar Jackson
From the Set Modern Legends of the Turf
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was named the NFL Most Valuable Player twice in his first four seasons. As he might say, 'not bad for a running back". That's the quote Jackson had for his critics who suggested he might be better suited to carrying the ball rather than throwing it after the Ravens drafted him in 2018 with the final pick of the first round. The quote came after the 2019 season opener, which was Jackson's eighth NFL start. He threw for 324 yards and five touchdowns to beat Miami. Lamar Jackson provides more deep insights about the three-time Pro-Bowl star who is one of the best quarterbacks, throwing or running, in the league today. Each title in the Modern Legends of the Turf series engages young readers with fun and interesting special elements and bold, easy-to-understand graphics.
