Lamar Jackson high school stats: Revisiting Ravens QB's best highlights from days at Boynton Beach

6 hours ago 3

Since taking over as a starter midway through his rookie season, Lamar Jackson has established himself as one of the most dynamic players to play the quarterback position in NFL history.

Jackson's one-of-a-kind playmaking ability is nothing new — long before he was an MVP at the NFL level, he was putting together Heisman-worthy numbers at Louisville. Before that, he became an internet sensation with his dominance at the prep level.

As with many superstars, Jackson's abilities were simply unfair during his high school days. And as he continues to forge an NFL career unlike any other, it's easy to point back to Jackson's roots.

Here is a look back at Jackson's high school years.

Lamar Jackson high school juke video

In high school, Jackson went viral before the world knew who he was. 

When Vine was still an active social media platform, there was an extremely popular field-level news clip of a QB juking his defender so viciously at the goal line that he was able to walk into the end zone nonchalantly. That QB? Jackson.

Because the clip was rather short and nondescript, it took years for many people to realize that the QB featured was a future Heisman winner and NFL MVP. Other angles are just as impressive.
