With some new weapons in the passing game, Baltimore Ravens star quarterback Lamar Jackson insists he’s going to be throwing the ball more this season and using his legs less often. And it sounds like his teammates can already see a difference.
According to Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews, Lamar Jackson is already throwing the ball more in practice and “he looks incredible.”
“Well, first of all, I’m extremely happy. Just for everything that’s gone down the last two years and all the scrutiny he [Lamar Jackson] has been under and how he’s handled it, that’s not an easy thing to do,” Andrews said according to the Baltimore Ravens team website. It just shows you how strong he is. And just coming back here today and seeing him throw, seeing the way he’s seeing the game, his balls are incredible, [and] he’s putting the balls on the money. So, he looks incredible. And yes, I think him throwing the ball [more] is a good thing. Obviously, his legs are incredible and special – unlike anybody else – but so is his arm. So, I’m proud of him, and I know he’s ready to work and grind and get together and make this team great.”
It will be a big change in the Ravens offense after Jackson had become such a threat with his legs. It will certainly be interesting to see how the team performs next season.
