8. Lamar Jackson, quarterback – Baltimore Ravens

A young quarterback who is taking the league by storm, Lamar Jackson is only 23 years old and has already been named the NFL’s Most Valuable Player for his efforts in 2019 with the Baltimore Ravens.

Jackson is a true dual threat. He is accurate enough with his passes that teams have to respect his arm. If teams don’t account for him in their coverage, Jackson is also more than capable of taking off running for big yardage.

Knowing when to fight and when to run is a big part of surviving the zombie apocalypse. These are the kinds of decisions the Ravens quarterback deals with every week in the NFL. However, Baltimore trusts him to make those calls on the field, so he could likely have survivors trust him when among walkers.

A leader with elite speed, a community on The Walking Dead would be lucky to have Lamar Jackson in his camp. He is one of those people who makes everyone around him better, and those are the type of survivors anyone would want to have their back.
