There isn’t a query that when the AFC Championship Sport kicks off on Sunday, all eyes will likely be on quarterback Lamar Jackson because the Baltimore Ravens host the Kansas Metropolis Chiefs.
ESPN analyst and former NFL cornerback Ryan Clark says that Jackson profitable a Tremendous Bowl could be a game-changer — and that it might be greater than the win Doug Williams led the Washington Redskins to 36 years in the past.
“That is greater than Doug Williams,” Clark informed First Tackle Saturday.
Greater than the primary Black quarterback to win the NFL’s greatest recreation at its most essential place? That’s fairly a scorching take — even on this period of scorching takes.
“I do know we’ve had the Doug Williams’ win Tremendous Bowls — win Tremendous Bowls,” Clark stated. “We’ve had Patrick Mahomes, the Russell Wilsons. However Lamar Jackson is completely different than all of them.”
Clark’s premise is that Jackson has been unconventional in virtually each manner — from having his mom to his agent, to his coiffure and way more — that him main the Baltimore Ravens to a championship recreation would have a much bigger impression than some other win by a black quarterback.
There could also be some advantage to the truth that Jackson is the least typical of these gamers named when it comes to model and extra. However that’s nothing in comparison with how unconventional Doug Williams was for his total soccer profession. From getting Heisman votes at Grambling State again within the Nineteen Seventies, to being the primary black participant picked as a quarterback within the first spherical to his triumphant win over the Denver Broncos, Doug Williams was as unicorn-ish because it might get.
