Titans Players on Ravens' Lamar Jackson: 'He's from Mars'; 'He's Vick 2.0'

The Tennessee Titans defense knows it is in for a tough fight in Saturday's game against the Baltimore Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium, with All-Pro quarterback Lamar Jackson an especially scary matchup.

"He's from Mars," Titans defensive lineman Jurrell Casey said of Jackson, per Jim Wyatt of the team's official site. "He's definitely an outer-space guy. He's unbelievable. The stuff that he’s doing so far this season, it's unreal."

"I would say he's Vick 2.0," safety Kevin Byard said. "... I think he is faster than Vick, and he's so dynamic."

Jackson was even better than Vick as a runner in 2019, breaking the former Atlanta Falcons star's single-season record for rushing yards by a quarterback. He finished with 1,206 yards, leading the league with 6.9 yards per carry.

The Ravens quarterback also excelled as a passer, throwing an NFL-best 36 touchdowns.

Beyond the numbers, Jackson has turned heads with his highlight-reel plays that are nearly impossible to replicate.

It's a reason the Ravens haven't lost a game since September, and he is the overwhelming favorite to be named the league's MVP.

While the Titans are coming off an impressive upset over the New England Patriots in which they shut down Tom Brady at Gillette Stadium, they know containing Jackson in the AFC Divisional Round will be a different challenge.

"I have been watching him all year making guys look silly out there," Byard added, "so we are going to have to do a good job containing this guy."
