Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has taken the NFL by storm!!! Following his 5-touchdown pass performance this past Monday evening against the Los Angeles Rams, he was interviewed by ESPN’s Lisa Salters. As Warren Sharp mentions in the above tweet, Jackson’s maturity and leadership shines through.
His perspective, approach, and humility is something all young leaders should learn from and apply.
As I listened to his comments, I gleaned the following 8 Leadership Quotes And Lessons From Baltimore Ravens Quarterback Lamar Jackson’s 5 Touchdown Performance. All quotes are from Jackson.
