If you want a good laugh, watch Cowherd try to argue that Lamar is Tebow 2.0

Not a fan of Cowherd but I agree with all five of his comparisons.

  1. three year starter in college with name recognition

  2. Heisman winner with name recognition

  3. first round pick with name recognition

  4. more mobile than traditional style

  5. great offensive college coach, probably better than NFL coordinator

The main point he's making here is that Lamar Jackson (like Tebow) is a great underdog story in the NFL and people are going to want him to play right away and want him to succeed.

He doesn't think Jackson will be a 15 year starter - maybe he will and maybe he won't but the larger point about the pressure Jackson's going to be under is a good one.
