Ditto for Lamar Jackson and Jalen Hurts. Probably Jayden Daniels as well.

They're not necessarily all getting QB Power where the QB is the only running option on the play but they are all using the QB as an extra man in the running game based on a read and how the defense responds.

Back to the board

I don’t follow the NFL closely, but it seems they’ve gotten over their fear of running the QB, right? - By Craig August 10, 2026 at 11:50:09 AM
- there's virtually no designed runs in the NFL anymore (maybe miniscule). it's all QBs making plays when they don't get the look and the best ones always seem to know when to scramble* - By 6p August 10, 2026 at 12:02:09 PM
  - I refuse to believe that Josh Allen doesn't have at least 5 called runs a game. * - By Kevin August 10, 2026 at 12:12:44 PM

      - yea, it's all in a spectrum. Devon Dampier in 2025 had 146att + 835yds. indicates a run first QB compared to Lamar Jackson's 4 rushes per game* - By 6p August 10, 2026 at 12:53:58 PM
    - Definitely some on short yardage. Also is a play with a run option a designed run or not?* - By harbaughdyssey August 10, 2026 at 12:19:32 PM
