A hilarious situation 

Lamar Jackson, the Ravens QB, responded to the news in a press conference before his team takes on the other Lamar Jackson and the Broncos in week 13. He said that he saw the news about the trade.

“Yeah, I have seen that. I actually been seeing it when he was playing for the Jets and stuff like that. Then I was seeing that they put my picture up and like, I don’t know why. But I guess because we are playing them this week,” the Ravens QB said.

He also said that the news caused confusion among his fans, who then cried in his DMs. This is how he responded to them.“Yes, people did. People was crying, whining in my DM. I was like, that’s not me. It is what it is though, I am here, he is there. We’re good,” Jackson said. The Ravens take on the Broncos clash in Week 13 of the 2022 season. And the situation of both the Lamar Jacksons is starkly opposite, just like their teams.

The name might be the same, but the season of both the players has gone very differently. The now-Broncos’ cornerback entered the NFL with the New York Jets as an undrafted free agent. Whereas the Ravens picked their QB as the first overall pick in the NFL draft. So even the start of their career is starkly different.

The cornerback is now a part of the Broncos practice squad. While the Ravens QB is the star of his team. The teams they play for are at different positions in their season. Baltimore is at the top of the AFC North divisional table with seven wins in 11 overall games. Denver, on the other hand, has struggled all season long, having won just three games all season. They are at the bottom of the AFC West division. They are mostly out of the playoff conversation.

Sharing the name with one of the best players of his generation is not an easy task. It puts a big burden on the back, especially if both are in the same field. But sometimes, this kind of hilarity also ensues.
