Lamar Jackson was rushing an average of 17 times/game last year. This year it's 12 times/game.
Last year his completion % was about 58% for 7.1 yards/attempt.
This year his comp% is 64.3%, and he started the season above 70%. His yards/attempt is 7.6.
He's running less and throwing more for more yards and a higher completion percentage.
He still has a long way to go to be a true passer, but he's trending in the right direction. Next year he may only run 5-7 times in a game and throw for a 66% completion percentage and close in on 8 yards/attempt.
That happens, and he'll be a real long-term threat in the league. Still not Mahomes or even Watson, but just under that tier.
