Trolls aside, Lamar Jackson’s illness hasn’t deterred head coach John Harbaugh from singing his praises. Speaking with reporters, Harbaugh described Jackson as a player who will “be recognized as the greatest quarterback ever to play in the history of the National Football League.”
The 61-year-old coach expressed full confidence in Lamar’s “work ethic and brilliant talent,” noting that Jackson has already demonstrated his worth to the team.
Last year, Jackson won his second MVP award after an impressive season in which he threw for 3,678 yards and 24 touchdowns, and rushed for 821 yards and five touchdowns—leading his team in both categories. Despite some criticism regarding his postseason performance, Harbaugh remains optimistic, believing that Jackson will have many more opportunities to shift the narrative.
In Jackson’s absence, Josh Johnson is leading the Ravens’ first-string offense. He is supported by Devin Leary, a sixth-round rookie, and undrafted free agent Emory Jones.
The Ravens are set to begin their NFL season against the defending Super Bowl champions, the Kansas City Chiefs, on September 5. They will follow up with a home opener against the Las Vegas Raiders on September 15. The team will also face the Dallas Cowboys and the Buffalo Bills at home later in the month before moving into October.
