5. Lamar Jackson

Lamar Jackson has a residency at the bottom of this list only because he hasn’t had his opportunity to start for the Ravens. Although he isn’t playing a full-time role on a weekly basis, the Ravens have gotten creative with Jackson over the weeks as they allow him to put his speed to the test.

Finally, the Lamar Jackson offensive experiment paid off this week as the rookie took on three carries and found the end zone! So, his first NFL touchdown wasn’t a pass, but it’s only right that Jackson finds the end zone on his feet. After all, he is widely known for being a talented mobile quarterback.

Unfortunately, his three carries for nine yards, and a score won’t move him up in the rankings, but it wouldn’t be right to not acknowledge his first NFL touchdown. So in case you missed it, you can check out Jackson’s first touchdown against the New Orleans Saints here.
