NFL - The Athletic on Lamar Jackson

Jackson slips to Tier 2 after 50% drop in rushing yards per game.

Jackson made his Tier 1 debut last year but slipped back to the top of Tier 2 after failing to threaten defenses as much with his legs in 2025. His rushing yards per game fell by about 50 percent year over year, and his total of Tier 1 votes fell proportionally. An opposing coach expressed uncertainty about how much Jackson wants to run and take hits anymore, noting that he can't be special without the threat of a run and that he needs to be more active when he does run, as he used to outrun defenders but now doesn't always move with purpose.
