Lamar Jackson is part of a rare group of players who have won the Heisman Trophy and an NFL MVP Award. Even more impressive, Jackson is one of just two MVPs to win the award unanimously. The other is Tom Brady — widely regarded as the Greatest Quarterback of All Time. Despite being in elite company, Jackson is often pegged as not being a “true quarterback.”

It’s an unfair label that’s followed him since high school but Lamar has proved his doubters wrong at every step. I mean, forever being linked with the GOAT ain’t half bad. But Lamar’s journey to get the proper recognition he deserves hasn’t been easy. He was once a guy overlooked by major college programs, told to switch positions, and someone that critics thought wouldn’t survive in the NFL. Let’s meet these versions of Lamar Jackson in the prism.
