No matter what your opinion of him might be as an overall player, or perhaps more notably, as a passer, it’s night impossible to deny that Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is one of the most exciting players in the NFL today. He is a regular fixture on highlight reels thanks to his electric speed alone.
While there are questions about how far he can take his craft as a pure passer, and the Ravens have sought to address this by adding three more wide receivers this offseason, including a long-sought veteran presence in Sammy Watkins, he will still remain a major headache as long as he can run—and as defensive coordinator Wink Martindale told season ticket holders recently, there’s only so much you can do about that.
