Draft
Peter Schrager reported Friday that multiple NFL teams have requested for Lousiville QB Lamar Jackson work out as a wide receiver, in addition to working out as a quarterback at the Combine.
However, Jackson disputed this during his press conference and said he’s “strictly a quarterback.”
“No team asked me to try out at wide receiver,” Jackson said. “I don’t know where that came from. I’m strictly a quarterback.”
On Saturday, Ian Rapoport reported that NFL teams did, in fact, request that Jackson work out as a receiver, despite his comments.
