Lamar Jackson: It feels unreal to beat Michael Vick’s record

Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson’s ability to run the football has made him stand out since entering the league, and he now stands alone as the most accomplished rushing quarterback of all time.

Jackson’s final carry in Wednesday’s 31-2 rout of the Texans moved him past Michael Vick for the most rushing yards by a quarterback in NFL history. Jackson accomplished the feat in his 102nd game — Vick played in 143 — and he’ll have plenty of time to add to his 6,110 yards in the coming years.

“It feels unreal, to be honest with you,” Jackson said via a team transcript. “I just give God all the credit. I’m thankful, man, because that’s a record that’s been held for a long time with Michael Vick, one of my favorite players. It’s just stupid.”

Jackson also set another mark during the win. He was clocked at 21.25 mph on his 48-yard touchdown run in the third quarter, the fastest recorded time of his career. Jackson initially said he was “jogging” and said it was “crazy” that he posted that kind of speed heading toward the end zone.

Jackson and the Ravens can clinch the AFC North with a win over the Browns in Week 18, and they’ll then move on to trying to grab the one major feat missing from the two-time MVP’s resume. That’s a Super Bowl title, and winning it would further cement Jackson as one of the best the league has ever seen.
