Lamar Jackson is the most electric running quarterback in the league today. Before him, Michael Vick set the bar high with his incredible rushing production during his time with the Atlanta Falcons, including a 1,000-yard season in 2006. Lamar Jackson has not only matched Vick with 1,000+ RUSH YDS in 2019, but surpassed him in 2020 with a second 1,000-yard season just three years into his NFL career. 

  • Michael Vick and Lamar Jackson are the only QBs with 1,000+ RUSH YDS in a season in NFL history
  • Lamar joined Vick (2004 & 2006) as the only QBs to record multiple seasons with 800+ RUSH YDS in NFL history

Lamar Jackson has electrified NFL fans since entering the league in 2018 and has quickly made his case as the greatest rushing QB of all-time. While he still has more records to break and memories to make before fully being recognized with that title, there’s no disputing the fact that his 2019 and 2020 seasons stand as all-time legendary rushing seasons for a player that touches the ball every single play. Michael Vick was the only QB to ever eclipse the 1,000-yard rushing plateau before Lamar’s arrival, and now there are two QBs that stand above the rest.
