It’s not just Lamar’s ability to simply evade pressure either.

Watch our DL closely from that game. Jones or whoever would win immediately and have to break down to contain Jackson. The threat of him running means the DL or blitzers have to hesitate a bit when they get past the line, even when Lamar doesn’t do anything at all.

If that’s Burrow, those guys are just going to tee off on him. No hesitation at all.
