Despite beating the best team in the NFC, Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is as humble as they come. The team is the best in the league as of now, with a 12-3 record, and will be visited by the Miami Dolphins soon. Speaking about humility, Lamar Jackson thinks and holds Tua Tagovailoa in high regard, and why not? The Dolphins have created their own lane and are the fastest offense in the league after all.

Jackson, who came out in a presser amongst a lot of other things, addressed the next match against the Dolphins and disclosed how much he respected Tua Tagovailoa. If Tagovailoa has that much respect in the eyes of the Baltimore QB, does that mean we can expect a tough match-up?

Lamar Jackson is a Tua Tagovailoa fan

In this presser, the Baltimore signal caller was asked about why he has come to respect Tua Tagovailoa so much and what sticks out about him. Lamar Jackson, who has been familiar with the Dolphins’ QB since his college days, recalled a time in the QB’s career when he managed to win a college game with poise.

He said, “Tua is a phenomenal player, I believe. You know, I’ve seen him; I think he was playing Georgia in uh National Championship game. I think they took one quarterback out and put him in; he threw a game-winning touchdown. After that, bro, I was like, he is amazing. I just fell in love with his game then and his poise in the game, and stuff like that. And I believe he was winning the Heisman one year, and I’m DM’ed like, Bro, you need to win the Heisman bro, I voted for you.”
