Lamar Jackson Talks About How He Regrets Wearing Money-Green Gucci Suit to 2018 NFL Draft

The MVP, aka Lamar Jackson joins the fellas for this week’s episode of Truss Levelz via The Players’ Tribune. The man who invented “Truss” gives us its origin story, how it became the Ravens’ mantra and also one of his favorite tattoos.

LJ takes us back to his years dominating in Florida’s elite Pop Warner league and what he was like as a free safety. The guys get into his college decision and why Louisville won out over the Florida schools. From the start of college on … it’s been nothing but success for LJ. He put his name on the map freshman year, but sophomore year he rocketed to the moon, becoming the youngest Heisman winner ever, putting up a combined 4,298 yards rushing and passing, with 51 touchdowns.
