Former Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson refused to run the 40 yard dash at his pro day Thursday.

I guess these are the poor decisions you make when your mom is the one representing you instead of an agent. Jackson’s main strength is his speed. There are plenty of red flags around his ability to read defenses, throw the ball and accuracy.

He should rest on the fact he’s so fast. Why wouldn’t you run the 40? It would have gotten so much news coverage if he did well, and he obviously would have. Who is giving him this awful advice?

I was against his mom being involved from the start, and I’m very much against it still. Parents shouldn’t be involved in the decision making process of pro athletes. It makes no sense at all. Any agent worth the money he’s being paid would tell his client to run. Lamar Jackson’s pro career is in big trouble if he keeps making bad decisions like this one.
