OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- On the first day of the Baltimore Ravens' training camp, the quickest aspect of the offense wasn’t quarterback Lamar Jackson’s feet. It was his release.
Jackson zipped the ball to the right flat, where rookie first-round pick Zay Flowers juked out linebacker Roquan Smith. Then Jackson tossed the ball deep downfield to WR Odell Beckham Jr. before hitting TE Mark Andrews underneath.
Entering his sixth NFL season, Jackson has a chance to redefine himself as well as the dual-threat quarterback role.
