Ex-Ravens coach: Didn't want to move Lamar Jackson to WR
OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Former Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg denied a report Tuesday that he wanted to move quarterback Lamar Jackson to wide receiver.
"That didn't happen," Mornhinweg said in a statement released by the Ravens. "Never said that."
Former NFL general manager Mike Lombardi said on The GM Shuffle podcast Monday that Mornhinweg was not a believer in Jackson as a quarterback. According to Lombardi, Mornhinweg asked his coaching staff, "When are we gonna move him to receiver?"
Mornhinweg denied that he suggested a position change for Jackson, who is now a leading candidate for NFL Most Valuable Player.
