Fresh off of a pretty successful rookie season, Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson deserves a lot of credit for his professional growth, unflappable demeanor, and of course his great play on the field. While all of it should go to Lamar and Lamar alone, there have been a few quarterbacks around the league in similar positions to him who have apparently reached out to support him getting to this point.
A recent piece by The Undefeated’s William C. Rhoden reveals Cam Newton to be a mentor to the 22 year old Jackson, a relationship which began thanks to a run-in between Newton and Ravens’ executive Ozzie Newsome.
