The Chiefs signed a Lamar Jackson, but it’s not the one you’re thinking of. Cue all the memes on social media.
Lamar Jackson (the quarterback) signed an extension with the Baltimore Ravens. Lamar Jackson (the cornerback) signed with the Kansas City Chiefs. Different players on different teams.
It’s easy to mix up the two, but it’s an important distinction to make.
So when the Chiefs signed Lamar Jackson on Wednesday, reporters made sure to add “CB” in their announcement to avoid any potential confusion.
Even with the extra details, many on Twitter were quick to comment with a widely circulated meme of Lamar Jackson playing as a running back in a Chiefs jersey.
In another universe, maybe.
Ravens’ Lamar Jackson has long been critiqued for being a running back over a quarterback, and while the meme might draw a small chuckle,
it could considered more of a compliment than a jab.
