The Ravens’ 2018 training camp featured more excitement than we’ve seen from the team during the offseason in the past few years. In only a quick comparison, last season the Ravens lost Joe Flacco days before camp due to a back injury and practices featured Ryan Mallett as the starting quarterback. There were injuries on a near-daily basis and hope dwindled with each passing day. This season, there’s been furor surrounding the Under Armour Performance Center as three great storylines developed from the quarterback position alone.
Beginning with the incumbent starter, Joe Flacco’s job became a national conversation the moment Baltimore ended the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft by trading up with the Philadelphia Eagles for the 32nd overall pick, selecting Lamar Jackson.
