Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson earned the honor of being ranked as the No. 1 player in the NFL by his peers on the NFL’s Top 100 list. An incredible achievement for the 2019 MVP, social media, of course, had reactions to the selection.
Jackson himself took to Twitter following the announcement to express his gratitude for the ranking, as he feels honored to be considered the top player in the league. However, Jackson noted that there is still plenty of work to be done.
One of Jackson’s favorite targets and friends, Marquise “Hollywood” Brown, was also ecstatic, and he used the ranking as an opportunity to once again bring Jackson’s Madden NFL 21 rating into question. The QB is the cover athlete for the video game, the reigning MVP and now the top player voted on by his peers, yet he is only a 94 in the game.
To Brown, that just doesn’t make any sense.
Jackson is deserving of his place at the top of the NFL after his 2019 campaign, but as the quarterback said himself, the focus is now on the future. Being voted as the best player in the league by his peers will only make the expectations for the 2020 season even bigger.
