There is no shortage of stats that make Lamar Jackson look like one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL<\/a>. Since entering the league, the former first-round pick has established himself as one of best dual-threat players in the league, and his presence has made the Ravens one of the most dangerous teams in football. That being said, these five metrics truly show how great he\u2019s been.<\/p>\n

The 5 Most Unbelievable Lamar Jackson Stats<\/h2>\n

0.165 EPA\/Play<\/h3>\n

There is no single statistic capable of flawlessly evaluating quarterback play, but EPA\/play probably comes the closest. At the end of the day, a quarterback\u2019s job is to efficiently move the ball down the field, and that\u2019s exactly what EPA\/play measures.<\/p>\n

Since entering the league, Lamar Jackson\u2019s 0.165 EPA\/play is the seventh-best mark in the league among players with at least 1,000 snaps, trailing only Patrick Mahomes, Drew Brees, Jimmy Garoppolo, Philip Rivers, Aaron Rodgers, and Tom Brady. Five of those guys will probably make the Hall of Fame, and the sixth (Garoppolo) spent the past five years playing in a quarterback-proof system.<\/p>\n

Lamar Jackson\u2019s impressive efficiency stats are even more insane when you look at what happens in clear passing situations. For a guy that critics say isn\u2019t good at throwing the ball, he\u2019s one of the most efficient quarterbacks<\/a> in the league when other teams know he\u2019s dropping back to pass.<\/p>\n
