Ravens Devising Ways to Use Lamar Jackson in 'Laboratory,' and He's Cool With It

The Ravens have been clear that Joe Flacco is their starting quarterback in 2018.

This weekend’s rookie minicamp also showed that Baltimore isn’t content having its electrifying first-round quarterback spend his entire rookie season on the bench.

Lamar Jackson is one of the Ravens’ fastest and most athletically-gifted players. If the 2016 Heisman Trophy winner plays anything like he did at Louisville, he’ll put up some highlight-reel plays in the NFL.

Thus, a big question is how the Ravens will simultaneously allow Jackson to develop as their quarterback of the future while tapping into his talents during his rookie year.
