ESPN analyst and former NFL safety Ryan Clark had quite the comparison for Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson.
Few players are as polarizing as Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson to people who cover the NFL.
"Lamar Jackson right now is like Russell Westbrook," Clark said on ESPN's show Get Up. "We watch Russell Westbrook throughout the regular season and even in the playoffs have these great statistical games. Have this huge impact on what teams are doing, but you remember when he and Damian Lillard went head to head and it got emotional. He couldn't make a shot."
On a whim, the comparison isn't too far-fetched. Both are at their peak in the regular season and the kind of players opposing teams dreaded facing. Westbrook won one MVP, made the All-NBA team nine times and is a part of the NBA's 75th anniversary team. He also averaged a triple-double in an NBA record four seasons in his career.
