NFL star Lamar Jackson reveals bizarre reason why he wears women's perfume

Baltimore Ravens star quarterback Lamar Jackson revealed he likes wearing women's perfume and explained his bizarre preference.

Off the football field, Jackson embarks on other ventures and recently released his new 'Night Lights' unisex cologne. 

While the passing machine and reigning NFL MVP plays a very masculine game, he had no shame admitting his admiration for women's scents.

In an interview with GQ, the quarterback spoke about how his scent preference led to his newest creation.

'What made me wanna make my own cologne is just me wanting to smell good,' he said.

'People may not know this about me but I prefer girls' perfume or something, something soft,' Jackson revealed. 'That's what made me wanna make something unisex, you know.'

'Instead of just, all about us men, I was like, I wanna smell like a female sometimes. So let me get something that could be in between.'

When a producer asked Jackson to describe the scent of his cologne, he sprayed it on his wrist and broke down the characteristics of his product.

'Wonderful,' he began. 'Soft, for the women - sexy, probably. For the guys, like a man.'

So far this season, Jackson has completed 254 of 379 attempts for 3,290 yards and 29 touchdowns. On the other hand, he threw three interceptions and got sacked 19 times in his 13 appearances.

The Ravens are 8-5, sitting second in the AFC North. After getting the week off, Baltimore will look to avenge their Week 13 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles when they take on the New York Giants.
