Jacksons talents, while impressive, also don’t quite translate to next level success like the rest. I realize we’re talking about just college here but sportswriters also want to jump on the bandwagon of somebody who’s going to succeed in the NFL too. Catch a rising star

Plus it’s USC. Bigtime program compared to Jacksons.

Jamarcus Russell, Cam Newton, Vince Young...those guys got PLENTY of hype.

"Jamarcus Russell, Cam Newton, Vince Young...those guys got PLENTY of hype"

and RGIII..... there's no problem with recognizing black quarterbacks anymore, in general.... but Lamar Jackson had a big dive late season last year, did not perform well against the top defenses he faced, and may be considered over-rated due to inflated stats.

"Truth be told, for all of Jackson's gaudy stats, he only played against three nationally ranked top 20 defenses last season (Clemson, Houston and LSU) and Louisville lost each of those games."
