The SPEAK YouTube channel shared a video highlighting the 49ers’ roadblock that they will face due to the Ravens’ QB Jackson. In the video, James Jones highlighted Jackson’s capability to run with the ball, and based on the 49ers’ previous struggle against the running QBs, Jones emphasized the danger that Jackson can put forth to the 49ers.

Jones said, “I’m taking Lamar Jackson. And Jackson and the Ravens in this, and the main reason why I’m taking it is that I know Lamar’s stats are not up there like that. But when Lamar has to take over a football game with his legs, Lamar takes over a football game. One thing that this 49ers defense, under all their defensive coordinators, struggle with is the run.”
