Damian Willemse Tribute | The Lamar Jackson of Rugby

Описание: I've always been one massive fan of Damian Willemse because of his gifted skillset. He was arguably the best flyhalf prospect in schoolboy history when he was at Paul Roos. The stuff he did was mind blowing. He really reminds me of Lamar Jackson, the QB for the Baltimore Ravens in the NFL. Both of them did stuff that was unheard of for their young age and both of them faced questions about their playing position when they entered their professional careers. It really would've been fun to see Damian play QB in the NFL, I can just imagine the types of RPO's you can do with him as you QB and his ability to lateral (Offload)

The reason he reminds of Lamar is because of his playmaking ability and also his ability to improvise on the field when it's broken play. I just wish they would keep Damian at Flyhalf because that is by far, his best position. You want him to be the player who has the ball the most in a game because he is truly gifted. The same thing happened to Lamar Jackson where a lot of analysts said he should switch positions and than his style of play wouldn't hold up in the NFL, turns out every single on of them was wrong because Lamar has become one of the most electrifying players in the NFL. I think the same thing can happen to Damian if they just keep him at 10, where his gifts can be utilized.

The scary thing about Damian is the fact that he is only 23 years old, yet it seems as if he's already so experienced. We still have a lot to see from him and I hope it as Flyhalf so that he can become the Lamar Jackson of Rugby
