Well now, lemme tell ya a little bit ’bout that Lamar Jackson feller, who’s playin’ football all the time and makin’ quite a name for himself in the big leagues. Now, this here story ain’t just ’bout the man himself, but also ’bout his family, who helped him get to where he is today. His mama, Felicia Jones, sure deserves a big ol’ shout-out for all the hard work she put in raisin’ him and his siblings.
Lamar Jackson, bless his heart, was born on January 7, 1997, down in Pompano Beach, Florida. Now, you wouldn’t guess it, but that family sure had a lotta love for sports, and it didn’t take long for Lamar to catch on to that same love. His daddy, Lamar Jackson Sr., mighta passed on, but he sure had a hand in teachin’ Lamar what it takes to be a strong, determined feller, even if he’s not around no more. His mama, Felicia, though, she raised Lamar and his three younger siblings mostly on her own, and I gotta say, she did one heck of a job.
Now, Lamar, he wasn’t one of them spoiled rich kids, no sir. He went to public schools, just like a lotta folks do. He was out there playin’ Pop Warner football, the same league that’s seen some big names rise up, like Marquise Brown, who became his teammate in the NFL. Can ya believe it? They was out there runnin’ and throwin’ the ball together since they was just young ones. And wouldn’t ya know it, even at the tender age of eight, Lamar could already throw that ol’ football a good 20 yards. Not too shabby, huh?
Felicia, bless her heart, was right there with him every step of the way, bein’ his manager when he got drafted into the NFL back in 2018. Now, I don’t know how many of y’all know this, but she didn’t just take that role on outta nowhere. No ma’am, she’d been preparin’ him for this moment ever since he was a little boy runnin’ around in Pompano Beach. She worked real hard to make sure he was ready, and I reckon it paid off, seein’ how far Lamar’s come.
But let’s not forget, Lamar’s got a family he’s raisin’ up too. In 2021, he became a daddy himself! He got a little one to look after now, a daughter, and I’m sure he’s gonna do for her just what his mama did for him—give her all the love and support she needs. Being a daddy’s a big job, but I reckon Lamar’s up to it!
Lamar’s got some younger siblings too, ya know. He’s the oldest, and from what I hear, he’s a good big brother to ’em. He’s got a younger brother and two younger sisters, and I’m sure he looks out for ’em just like his mama looked out for him. Ain’t nothin’ like family, is there?
Now, some folks might get confused ’cause there’s another feller named Samuel L. Jackson, and they both share the same last name. But let me tell ya, they ain’t related at all. Samuel L. comes from Washington, D.C., and Lamar, well, he’s from down in Florida, all the way in Broward County. Different folks, same last name, that’s all.
All in all, Lamar Jackson’s come a long way from his humble beginnings. From the hard work his mama put in raisin’ him to the big success he’s found in the NFL, it’s clear that family plays a big part in his story. And I gotta say, it’s mighty inspirin’ to see how much love and support he’s got from ‘em, and how much he’s passin’ down to his own little one. Family’s everything, ya know?
