Lamar Jackson has showcased just why he deserves to be ranked amongst the very best modern-day NFL Quarterbacks. However, his numbers and contract doesn’t symbolize the same. With then negotiations going on as we speak, there is just one American athlete who can totally relate to the Baltimore Ravens’ QB, Washington Wizards’ marquee guard – Bradley Beal.
Having secured a five-year maximum contract extension worth more than $250 Million, Beal thinks that just like him, Lamar Jackson deserves to secure a hefty bag. Given that the pressure of landing a deal is huge, Beal also revealed his honest opinion upon Ravens’ Lamar Jackson and perhaps even basketball.
Beal quoted, “Football is better than basketball. I’ll say that because I don’t want to speak on other people’s business or what they are doing, but I respect what he’s (Lamar Jackson) doing. I respect many football players who have that mindset because it is a business, and football is grimier than basketball; they will cut you like you don’t mean anything. Lamar loves football.”

With the Baltimore Ravens are trying to match a serious bid for the AFC North title, and their Week 3 highlights against the New England Patriots signify just that.

The Wizards Guard continued, “You can tell what type of player he is, and you can tell he doesn’t really care about the money he does, maybe, but he is out there playing. So, what are you judgin him on? He’s out there being available for his team, putting it all out there on the line playing a gruesome sport. I salute him for everything he’s doing and I hope it’s everything he deserves and wants.”
