Before he was a Heisman Trophy winner Lamar Jackson was still the greatest football player to come out of Pompano Beach, Fla.
Jackson played for Boynton Beach High School, where he was a 4-year starter, but became the first player ever from the city of 99,000 people just north of Fort Lauderdale to win the Lou Groza Award High School Player of the Year in 2014.
He then matriculated to Louisville where he, of course, won the most prestigious individual award in sports just two years later.
Over the weekend, Jackson was given the key to his hometown.
