Because only in 2018 America can a player with a resume like Jackson's not be considered as one of the best overall prospects in the draft, but also told that he should play a different position.

However, racism is a powerful drug

Finally, someone brings race to the table.

Lamar Jackson isn't going to be drafted high because he's black.

I think I'm going to play the race card that Tebow wasn't drafted first now.

He's a poor man's Johnny Manziel, who wasn't even picked in the top-20.

That article is retarded

Before clicking the link I expected the writer to be some white woman-apologist.

Because if a black man can't even go to Starbucks without getting arrested, then how in the hell do you expect a league that's blackballing players for protesting police brutality to select a black quarterback before the white ones?

Kap sucks.

I’m waiting for the main stream media article complaining there isn’t a single white corner in the league

When the Browns draft Mayfield #1 your argument will be sort of validated.

Weird,

how did Cam and Winston both go #1? And they actually HAD character concerns!

I mean the precedent was set with Michael Vick going no. 1 overall in 2001 and then Deshaun Watson, DK why Lamar isn’t perceived in that same light HOWEVER if he drops to the Saints I would LOVE HIM SHAMONE!

Would Josh Allen go top 5 if he was black might be a better question? He looks the part but the warning signs are flashing.

Mike Clay ? @MikeClayNFL
Worst final FBS season off-target rates among top QB prospects last 3 years:
Josh Allen 16.3%
DeShone Kizer 14.5%
Jeff Driskel 14.4%
Connor Cook 13.5%
C Hackenberg 13.4%

Was dirty brown water trash against top competition.

Ej Manuel was a bust who looked the part but at least he was accurate at FSU.

It's the same exact situation as why Pryor couldn't play the QB position in the NFL. Heisman level talent in college, doesn't have the skill set to make it in the NFL.
