Swinney: Lamar Jackson is right-handed Michael Vick

Clemson coach Dabo Swinney sees greatness every day with Deshaun Watson, but he's still in awe of Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson.

"He's Michael Vick, right-handed," Swinney told ESPN's Marty Smith on Monday.

Swinney isn't the first to throw the Vick comparison at Jackson. The sophomore has electrified the country with his explosiveness running and throwing, much like Vick - a lefty - did during his Virginia Tech days.

But according to Vick, Jackson is "five-times better" than he ever was.

Clemson and Louisville face off Saturday night in what's expected to be a quarterbacking display of epic proportions. While Jackson enters as the Heisman Trophy front-runner, Watson was runner-up last year and has garnered comparisons to Cam Newton.
