The NFL’s greatest player of all time according to Lamar Jackson is an easy and obvious choice. Lamar has been vocal about his favorite player ever since he entered the league, but this past Sunday, it was the GOAT who was singing Lamar’s praise as he announced the wild game between the Baltimore Ravens and the Dallas Cowboys.
Tom Brady Gave Lamar Jackson A new Nickname
As Lamar was dicing the Cowboys throughout the first three quarters, Tom Brady, who was calling the game, had non-stop compliments about the two-time MVP. Brady took the moment on the FOX broadcast to give Lamar a new nickname:
“He’s like superhuman,” Brady said. “I call him ‘The Eraser.’ He just erases things that come up when you see bad football. That [broken play] would be a negative play for almost every other quarterback, and he turns it into another rushing first down. It’s awesome.”
This is not a new thing from Brady as he had heaps of praise for Jackson when he was in the NFL as well:

When Jackson was asked about the new nickname he received, the Ravens quarterback responded by calling Brady a name that almost everyone gives him:
“That’s the GOAT, man,” Jackson said. “That’s the only guy in the league with seven Super Bowls … For him to give me a nickname, The Eraser, and how he judged my game, it’s dope. It’s dope for me to hear.”

Jackson had told Brady the same thing after they had their one matchup when Brady was in the NFL. Brady more recently on his podcast had more compliments to give the two-time MVP:
“The first time I ever really noticed you was that high school highlight when you put the brakes on the guy and he went flying by,” Brady told Jackson in January. “Not that I’ve ever had that experience in my entire life, I don’t even know what that feels like. You’re the reason why people watch the NFL.”
The Ravens will have to build on the win as they have arguably their toughest test yet this season facing a Buffalo Bills team that looks unstoppable.
