Bengals fans want Lamar Jackson to leave the AFC North

The Ravens’ representative for this particular list was an easy one. Lamar Jackson has run all over the Bengals since he entered the league in 2018 so he’s the no-brainer choice for who Cincinnati would kick out of the division from the Ravens roster.

Jackson’s 2020 campaign wasn’t quite as impressive as his 2019 season that saw him MVP but he still put on a show in Baltimore. The former Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback out of Louisville passed for 2,757 yards, 26 touchdowns, and nine interceptions and continued to make defenders miss on the ground with his 1,005 yards rushing and seven rushing touchdowns.

Jackson has always shined against Cincinnati and last year was no exception to that rule. He passesd for 293 yards and five touchdowns (two interceptions as well) while rushing for 100 yards. The year before was really when Jackson lit the Bengals up, as he dashed for 152 yards and a touchdown in a single game against them. Yikes.

Cincinnati knows how good Jackson can be and if they could remove him from the AFC North, Bengals fans would do so in a heartbeat. He’s the obvious choice from the Ravens roster to kick out of the division.

The AFC North has tons of good players but these three were the ones I went with. Maybe if Odell Beckham had a better first two years in Cleveland, he’d have been the Browns’ representative. Maybe if Ben Roethlisberger was his same old self, he and or one of his many talented receivers would have made the cut for the Steelers. Instead, I went with two defensive players in those spots.

What do you think, Bengals fans? Who would you elect to kick out of the AFC North from the Browns, Ravens, and Steelers rosters?
