Well the 2016 Heisman Trophy presentation is over and Lamar Jackson is the clear cut winner. But what NFL team could possibly draft him in 2018?

The Heisman Trophy presentation is over and all the highlight reels have been set. Finally we have our Heisman winner in Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson. Jackson is the first player in FBS history with at least 3,300 passing yards and 1,500 rushing yards. The ACC Player of the Year now holds the ACC records for for rushing yards by a quarterback, total touchdowns and rushing touchdowns by a quarterback.

The dynamic sophomore quarterback will have to return at least for his junior season. His development as a pocket passer will be closely watched as will what his offseason holds. He will need to put on more muscle if he hopes to withstand hits from NFL defensive players.

Even then, it begs the question, which five teams should draft Lamar Jackson in 2018? There are still quite a few teams looking for a solid signal-caller, especially with the ability Jackson has. The Cleveland Browns have still yet to find a quarterback as their recent experiment with Robert Griffin III hit a snag due to injury. Are they one team?

It remains to be seen as of yet. At 0-12, the Browns will probably have this year’s number one pick, they’ll need to draft a quarterback in this season’s NFL Draft. A few other teams may be able to hold off on a gamble on a quarterback. But which teams have a chance at Lamar Jackson’s services in the 2018 NFL Draft?
