Arizona Cardinals teased Lamar Jackson by using a picture of him and a song called “Running Back.” Critics often call Jackson a running back due to his scrambling ability, despite being a quarterback and former Heisman Trophy winner. But little did people know about the secret weapon behind his success – his mother, Felicia Jones. Lamar’s admiration for his mother, officially shared by NFL, is going viral on social platforms.

He enlisted his mother, Felicia Jones, as his behind-the-scenes manager, avoiding agent fees and gifting her $7.8M. Lamar sees his mother as a superhero and her hard work and dedication have been a major influence in his life.

Lamar’s gesture of emotional support

How Lamar’s mother has been a major influence in his life? She raised him and his siblings all by herself without asking for help or complaining about her situation. Lamar admires her hard work and dedication, as he has seen her wake up early in the morning, work all day, and come back late at night. Despite her busy schedule, Felicia Jones never wanted Lamar to get a job and instead encouraged him to focus on his football career while she took care of everything else.

Lamar stated his love for his mother, “She’s a huge influence on my life, you know. She’s raising four kids on her own, not asking for a handout or reaching out to people, like saying, ‘Oh, I need this right here to pay my bills.’ I’ve never heard her complain about anything like that. She doesn’t want me to get a job; she tells me to focus on football, and she’ll take care of everything else without complaining.”
