From the article

Jackson finished the game 17/25 for 324 yards, 13 yards per attempt, one passing touchdown, 40 rushing yards, and one rushing touchdown with no turnovers. If Doyle can make Jackson a more efficient passer of the football, this will definitely cause problems for the rest of the league, especially considering the balance that the offense has with Derrick Henry still being able to run the ball effectively.

Jackson's 13 YPA and new OC Doyle unlock him as efficient passer and runner.

Lamar Jackson is becoming a more efficient passer under new offensive coordinator Declan Doyle (promoted from Chicago Bears). In Week 1 against Indianapolis, Jackson finished 17/25 for 324 yards, 13 yards per attempt, 1 passing TD, 40 rushing yards, and 1 rushing TD with zero turnovers. The source notes that if Doyle can unlock Jackson as a more efficient passer while maintaining the offensive balance with Derrick Henry's effective rushing, this will cause problems for the rest of the league. Jackson remains dangerous as a runner with elite speed, quickness, and vision that makes him as elusive as a running back in the open field.
