Don't be surprised if he takes the Braxton Miller/Julian Edelman/Terrelle Pryor route and becomes a WR in the NFL, assuming he has the hands for it.
EDIT: Lamar Jackson's college profile and size reminds me strongly of a slightly better Brad Smith.
Jackson: 6'3, 211lbs
Smith: 6'2, 213lbs
- - -
Jackson: 57% completion
Smith: 56.3% completion

Jackson: 52 TD/20 INT
Smith: 56 TD/32 INT

Jackson: 1,571 rushing yard, 21 rushing TD best season
Smith: 1,310 rushing yard, 17 TD best season
And he is at 63% this year. Up up up.
Currently better than what Russel Wilson and Kaep were at in their 3rd years. Two recent Super Bowl QBs
