Super Bowl champ Deion Branch says Louisville’s Lamar Jackson has a whole lot more football domination in his future … as one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL.
Jackson continued to make the rest of the college football world look silly this past weekend … racking up another 7 touchdowns as his squad put the hurt on Marshall.
We talked with Branch … who was a star for the Cardinals when Jackson was in pre-school … and he told us he’s convinced NFL defenses will one day get the same treatment.
“I like what I see from him as a quarterback … he’s showing flashes … there’s a lot of potential there.”
Branch ain’t just spitballin’ folks … he told us he’s talked to Jackson personally and thinks not only are the physical tools there … but the mental makeup as well.
“After the Florida State game we had a long conversation … listened to everything I said … he’s a sponge.”
