Lamar Jackson emerged as one of the most electric quarterbacks in the country at Louisville, but a handful of NFL teams are reportedly interested in what he can offer as a pass-catcher.
According to Good Morning Football's Peter Schrager, "multiple NFL teams" have requested that Jackson work out as a wide receiver as well as a quarterback.
Jackson has yet to confirm if he will participate in on-field drills with receivers Saturday at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis. Quarterbacks are scheduled to hit the turf at Lucas Oil Stadium the same day.

The 2016 Heisman Trophy winner previously said he found chatter of a potential positional switch frustrating.
"It is annoying because quarterback is all I played all my life," he told ESPN.com's Andrea Adelson. "People look at my legs and they see I can make big plays, but they don't really see my arm, and I make big plays with my arm. I scored more touchdowns with my arm than my legs so..."
Jackson, 21, threw for 9,043 yards and 69 touchdowns in three seasons at Louisville. He also rushed for 4,132 yards and 50 scores. He did not catch any passes.
"Yeah, I'm not much on that," Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said of moving Jackson to receiver, per NFL.com's Dan Parr. "I want to bring him in. Let's exhaust that other thing that we know he's good at and see. I'm just saying in general. This is a general statement: Let's get him in and let him wing it a little bit and see how he does. We'll be able to fit some things in there, I'm sure."
Bleacher Report's Matt Miller has Jackson ranked as his No. 5 quarterback behind Sam Darnold, Josh Rosen, Josh Allen and Baker Mayfield.
