"In 2019, that fact will change for the better, as I believe Lamar Jackson is in store for a breakout season," Bradshaw wrote.

Bradshaw compared Jackson's rookie campaign to Michael Vick's historic 2006 season, where Vick became the only quarterback in NFL history to pass and rush for 1,000 yards in a single season.

While Jackson started just six regular-season games as a rookie, the projections weren't far off from Vick. As a runner, Jackson was on pace to shatter Vick's rushing total.

"Jackson's projected rushing stats absolutely crush Vick's in every aspect except YPC, where Vick has a sizeable advantage (8.4 vs. 5.4)," Bradshaw wrote. "Jackson would surpass Vick's rushing attempts by more than double his, but Jackson would smash Vick's rushing yards by almost 300 yards!

"It's hard to believe that Jackson could've easily accomplished this as just a 21-year old rookie. Considering Vick was in the prime of his career when he put together his masterful 2006 season at 26 years old, it's extremely exciting to see Jackson develop his game into becoming an even better dual-threat quarterback."

Pundits believe Jackson's improvements must come in the passing game. Even then, Bradshaw still likes what he sees.

"While Jackson has plenty of room to grow and may improve significantly … believe it or not, he might not be that far off," Bradshaw wrote.

Vick didn't become an accomplished passer until late in his career. He didn't complete more than 60 percent of his passes until the 2010 season (62.6).
