During the 2018 NFL Combine, Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson weighed in at 216 pounds. Over the years, the star signal caller bulked up to around 230.
However, during a recent discussion on the I Got Time Today Podcast, Jackson responded to a post where a user called him “2019 slim”:
While the 2024 season will only be Jackson’s seventh in the NFL, he is starting to put together a compelling resume for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. A two-time league MVP and a three-time Pro Bowler, the QB could really make a strong case for the Hall if he could just make that elusive run to the Super Bowl.
There have been several quarterbacks who have improved their health during their playing days. Tom Brady is among the most famous examples. The legendary New England Patriots quarterback became obsessed with what he was putting into his body, and his diligence helped him remain a star well into his 40s while also creating a new revenue stream in the form of his “TB12” company.
Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott is another example of a star signal caller who changed his diet to help him avoid major injuries. While Prescott’s weight has been in the 230s for nearly his entire career, he says he is now vigilant about what he eats and no longer dines on McDonalds and Taco Bell like he did as a rookie.
