Lamar Jackson Listed As 2019's Most Explosive Runner
5 years agoBaltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was the most explosive runner in the league in 2019 based on runs of 10-plus yards (47), 10-plus run percentage (26.7) and 15-plus mph percentage (52.8). He did that on 176 total carries. Jackson was named the 2019 MVP in large part because defenses just couldn't stop him when he took off with the football. His total of 15-plus mph runs of 93 were 20 more than the next closest runner in the league (Dalvin Cook). It was a great season for Jackson, but you'd be wise to expect at least some regression in 2020. But even if Jackson regresses some following his MVP campaign, his upside is through the roof. Either Jackson or Patrick Mahomes will be the first fantasy QB taken in drafts.
