Katelyn Mulcahy/ Lamar Jackson became the fastest quarterback in NFL history to reach 5,000 career rushing yards during the Baltimore Ravens' matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers on . He surpassed Michael Vick to achieve the milestone, reaching the mark in 22 fewer games than the four-time Pro Bowl passer. Jackson is one of the premier dual-threat signal-callers in the league, rushing for at least 695 yards in every season of his career prior to 2023. This included his MVP-winning campaign in 2019 during which he totaled 1,206 yards on the ground, the highest single-season mark by a quarterback in NFL history. His 4,972 career rush yards heading into Sunday's contest already ranked fourth all-time amongst passers. Vick and former MVP Cam Newton hold the top two spots, both having appeared in at least 143 games each. Broncos signal-caller Russell Wilson is third on the list, with 184 appearances under his belt. Meanwhile, Jackson has only suited up in 82 career games. He's helped spur the Ravens to a commanding lead in the AFC North, owning a record of 8-3 prior to Sunday night. Jackson recorded 33 yards on six carries through three quarters against the Chargers.
