The addition of Derrick Henry as Baltimore's lead runner could be what takes Lamar Jackson to a level neither has reached — the Super Bowl.
TAMPA, Fla. — Lamar Jackson is only 27, has already been an NFL MVP twice and is making a case to win a third. Fairly or unfairly, he has reached a level of elite play that is judged first and foremost by championships. And as amazing as Jackson was in Monday's 41-31 win over the Bucs — five touchdowns, no interceptions, a gaudy 12.8 yards per pass attempt — what was even more impressive was what Derrick Henry has added to this Baltimore offense.
'And the Brown Shirt, we say every time we give it out after a win, ‘It's our most prestigious award.' And the Brown Shirt Award is a nod to the Navy SEALs, because when you get through BUDS , and you become a SEAL, you get a brown shirt. That's my understanding. Steve Clagget is a former Navy SEAL on our staff, and he took me through the history of that for a little bit, and we've been doing the Brown Shirt for about 13-to-14 years — a long time.
