Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is on the doorstep of reaching yet another impressive feat in his career.

No team has had much of an answer for Jackson on the ground this season. The sixth-year passer leads all quarterbacks in rushing yards (535) and ranks fourth among such players in touchdown runs (five). Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts leads all passers in rushing scores with an astounding nine.

Overall, Jackson is a mere 28 rushing yards away from becoming the fourth quarterback in NFL history to rush for at least 5,000 yards. In front of Jackson on this leaderboard are Michael Vick (6,109), Cam Newton (5,628) and Russell Wilson (5,198).

Jackson should go on to tally at least 28 rushing yards in Baltimore's upcoming road matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Chargers have allowed a 102.0 rushing yards per game average this season.

It sure is also a matter of time before Jackson surpasses Vick to become the all-time leader in rushing yards by a passer.

Jackson has tallied 500-plus rushing yards in each of his six seasons with the Ravens.
