$260 Million Worth Lamar Jackson Gifted This Special Surprise to Agent Mom as a Token of Gratitude

Published 11/25/2023, 9:16 PM EST

Recently, the Baltimore Ravens‘ star quarterback Lamar Jackson sat down for an interview with NBC. While a major chunk of the conversation naturally revolved around the whopping $260 million deal he signed, it did not take time for the conversation to delve into the off-field layers of Jackson’s life. From his usual tactics in the gridiron, the spotlight shifted toward the love he has for his mom.

It is no news that Lamar Jackson doesn’t have an agent to represent him. Felicia Jones (his mom) has played a major role in most parts of his game, for management and organization, per the football player. Thus, it wasn’t a surprise to learn that the 26-year-old athlete’s first major purchase post-contract was for none other than his agent Mom.

Lamar Jackson puts his mom first in the wake of success

Jackson is now officially one of the highest-paid NFL players after he signed a colossal $260 million contract for five years. Recently, he was interviewed by former NFL player Devin McCourty regarding the same. He answered questions concerning the new outlook of the team, his responsibilities, and expectations going forth. However, soon the line of questioning shifted to more personal fronts.

The most prominent question was, “What was the first thing you purchased that you had to take a step back and say Man I cannot believe I have this now?” The young QB looked to take a pause before answering the question. His answer simply reflected the humble persona he carries.

Unlike many who might splurge on themselves, Jackson’s first purchase was filled with gratitude to his family. He said, “I bought I am gonna say I bought my mom a different car. You know I really like that car on her.” Even though the type of the car wasn’t revealed, it was evident that his mom loved the gift. It clearly showcased the sense of responsibility and gratitude Jackson has toward her.

Jackson’s purchase showed the love of a son for his mother, nothing surprising here considering that the QB has time and again stressed the fact that Felicia Jones has been a role model for him.

Felicia Jones- a superhero for Lamar Jackson!

Lamar Jackson’s journey to NFL stardom is deeply intertwined with the unwavering support and guidance of his mother, Felicia Jones. The star grew up in Pompano Beach, Florida.

Her resilience and work ethic left an indelible mark on Jackson, fueling his determination and shaping his perspective on life’s challenges. Jones also played a pivotal role in his football career, not only as his first coach but also as his trusted advisor. This is the role she continues to play after the NFL draft in 2018.

Also, while talking about his mom, the young football player once revealed how Jones has never missed a bill payment. In fact, she never complained about the hard work she had to do to raise her kids. Highlighting the same, Jackson said, “Almost (like) a superhero.” Undoubtedly, the two share a great mother-son bond.
