Ep 413 | Lamar Jackson’s 'Pocket-Watching' Pursuit of Deshaun Watson Could Derail His Career

Fearless with Jason Whitlock

Lamar Jackson’s Tuesday night Twitter storm was a very revealing moment in his young career. The former MVP’s social media venting session uncovered his well-intentioned soul but also spotlighted the lack of guidance that could jeopardize his career. “Lamar Jackson stands at a critical career crossroads. His desire to land a Deshaun Watson-type contract and the media-driven drumbeat of victimization have distracted him from the narrow path of football immortality he claims to prioritize.” Jason is speaking from his own experience in sports media: All money isn’t good money, especially if in the end, it leads to a path that could be detrimental to your career. “As it relates to his contract negotiation, God is not directing Lamar’s steps. Deshaun Watson is.” Pastor Anthony Walker joins Jason for the conversation about Lamar's battle between chasing the bag and following God. We can’t talk about Lamar Jackson without our QB whisperer, “Last Chance U’s” Coach Jason Brown. “Fearless” contributor Steve Kim shares his thoughts on Lamar’s contract saga. Plus, the group weighs in on the battle between Stephen A. Smith and Dan Le Batard and the season premiere of HBO's “Succession.”
