NFL star Lamar Jackson has been forced to deny pooping during a football game on Monday night after he was seen running off the pitch.
The match saw the Ravens win 47-42 yesterday (December 14), and in the fourth quarter, the 23-year-old quarterback dashed to the locker room, with the ESPN broadcast describing the sudden fleeing as being a result of "cramps".
Check out the moment Lamar Jackson dashed to the locker room leading fans to believe he needed to poop:

Jackson made his return after a series and threw a touchdown on fourth down to Marquise Brown, giving the Ravens a 42-35 lead.
The player did clear up once and for all that he did not leave for a cramp-fuelled bathroom break.
"I didn’t pull a Paul Pierce," Jackson revealed as a reference to the former Boston Celtics star, who had been taken away from the court in a wheelchair for what was believed to be a break to the restroom during the 2008 playoffs.
The athlete also said that rather than doing a number two, he had to depart for the locker room in order to get treatment for his cramps due to the cold and needed intravenous fluids.
