Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson destroyed Nick Wright of FOX Sports 1 after the reigning MVP was snubbed from the analyst’s list of the top-five quarterbacks in the NFL.
After missing a total of 10 games to injury over the 2021 and 2022 seasons, Lamar Jackson stayed healthy and cruised to a second NFL MVP Award. He completed 67.2 percent of pass attempts for 3,678 yards, 24 touchdowns and only seven interceptions along with 821 rushing yards and five rushing scores.
And yet, Wright curiously doesn’t view Jackson as a top-five quarterback in football.
In a recent edition of “What’s Wright? With Nick Wright”, the polarizing analyst listed Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow, Josh Allen and CJ Stroud. He mentioned rookie Caleb Williams and Matthew Stafford as co-choices for the fifth spot.
Responding to a pair of fans on X/Twitter, Lamar Jackson decided to destroy Wright with a pair of tweets:
What’d you do to buddy? @Lj_era8 https://t.co/VsEFkqlrW7

Wright stated that in order for Jackson to be a top-five QB on his list, the 27-year-old must stop having “the worst game of his season in the playoffs” every year.

Jackson has been one of the league’s top regular season performers since his 2018 rookie year, but, indeed, he hasn’t played his best in the postseason. The two-time MVP is 2-4 with a mediocre 57.4 completion percentage, 1,324 passing yards, six touchdowns and as many interceptions.
There shouldn’t be any major shame in losing to Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game. But if Jackson can’t get Baltimore to the Super Bowl this upcoming season, the “can’t win the big one” narrative will only grow stronger.
Lamar Jackson & Ravens Open Season At Chiefs
Jackson and the Ravens won’t have to wait long for an opportunity to make a real statement, as they’ll open the 2024 regular season at Kansas City in the Kickoff Game at Arrowhead Stadium.
Lamar is 1-4 in his career against Mahomes. Chances are real high that Jackson will have to beat Kansas City along the way if he’s to lead Baltimore to the promised land.
VIDEO: Baltimore Ravens Star QB Lamar Jackson Is Unrecognizable & Faster Than Ever After Shocking Body Transformation, According To One Of His Teammates

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is almost unrecognizable following a massive offseason body transformation, according to one of his teammates.
Lamar Jackson, who’s coming off his second NFL MVP-winning season, was previously listed at 6-foot-2 and 215 pounds. According to Jackson’s teammate, tight end Isaiah Likely, the 27-year-old has trimmed so much weight that he wasn’t recognizable at first glance.
Speaking with Kay Adams on FanDuel’s “Up & Adams” show, Likely stated that he didn’t even recognize Jackson when he first met with the two-time league MVP following the latter’s weight loss:
“He said he was like 230-235 (pounds)…Now, he’s slimmed. The first time I seen L…I’m walking and looking up and I’m like ‘Who is that…ain’t no way’. And he’s like, ‘Man, I’m good now..I’m back’…I’m just gonna say…y’all thought L was fast before…”
Likely’s story caused Adams to express (humorous) concern. She’s a well-known Cincinnati Bengals fan, and her team has struggled mightily against Jackson since he turned professional in 2018.
Jackson revealed earlier this offseason that he is down to 205 pounds. That’s indeed a scary thought for the rest of the NFL, seeing how he just won his second MVP award while also guiding Baltimore to its first AFC Championship Game appearance in 11 years.

A string of injuries limited Jackson to 12 games in both the 2021 and 2022 seasons. Fortunately, he stayed healthy last season and set career-highs in completion percentage (67.2) and passing yards (3,678). Jackson had 24 passing touchdowns against only seven interceptions to go along with 821 rushing yards and five touchdowns.
Lamar Jackson & Ravens Are Set Up For A Super Bowl Run
The Ravens’ AFC Championship Game defeat at the hands of the Kansas City Chiefs was tough to stomach, no doubt. But it was also a step in the right direction for a team that entered 2023 with just one postseason victory in the Lamar Jackson era.
Baltimore still has the makings of a top-five offense and defense, so they’ll once again be in the mix for the Lombardi Trophy in 2023. As long as Jackson can avoid the injury bug and continue playing up to his all-world standards, the Ravens should be Kansas City’s main challenger in the AFC.
