Lamar Jackson, Jalen Hurts get mocked by fans after list of RBs attending Austin Ekeler’s Zoom call gets revealed

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler hosted a Zoom meeting on Saturday night. He invited other NFL running backs to the meeting to discuss their desire to get higher contracts. The list of attendees included Saquon Barkley and Tony Pollard, who are both holding out for contract extensions.While fans were commenting on the running backs involved in the meeting, some created some humor. With some saying that quarterbacks Jalen Hurts and Lamar Jackson should have been invited. Since the two quarterbacks are so well-known for their ability to run.Others noted that Lamar Jackson received a lucrative contract from the Baltimore Ravens because he is a quarterback. Whereas if he had taken the advice he was given heading into the NFL Draft, he likely would have switched positions.Just to show that the running back position is excluded from the pay gap in the National Football League. Other fans on Twitter also said that they are curious to see if anything comes out of this Zoom meeting.These running backs will need to officially take their concerns to the NFLPA if any change is truly made to the running back pay gap.Dak Owns Philly@dcinsiders2023@_MLFootball What about Lamar Jackson61@_MLFootball What about Lamar Jackson✭ LET•|}/\|{•CÖK ✭@Johnny2Js@_MLFootball No jalen hurts?@_MLFootball No jalen hurts?Sloth@SlothUniversityLamar Jackson if he listened to the scouts and became a Running Back pic.twitter.com/5FENQfIe1N2Lamar Jackson if he listened to the scouts and became a Running Back pic.twitter.com/5FENQfIe1NMichael Zabkowski@mwzabkowski34Confirmed that Lamar Jackson isn't a running back...

I hope changes can be made.Austin Ekeler shows support for running back holdoutsAustin Ekeler is one of the most vocal NFL players about the inconsistency in pay for running backs. He has seen the implications it can have, as he was unable to work out a trade after the Chargers granted him the ability to do so.As Tony Pollard, Saquon Barkley and Josh Jacobs all declined to sign their franchise tags last week, Ekeler showed support for all three. He stated that NFL teams are well aware that it's hard to find success without a solid ground game.&quot;This is the kind of trash that has artifically devalued one of the most important positions in the game. Everyone knows it's tough to win without a top RB and yet they act like we are discardable widgets. I support any RB doing whatever it takes to get his bag.&quot;PFF@PFFAustin Ekeler and Derrick Henry on the current state of RB contracts pic.twitter.com/lwE7HbYsaP1625134Austin Ekeler and Derrick Henry on the current state of RB contracts pic.twitter.com/lwE7HbYsaPHe said that he supports any running back to do what they need to in order to get their paycheck. Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry also said that he feels that the NFL doesn't show any support for or value the position. He said that he, too, stands by all of the running backs looking to get their big pay day.
