Seven years have passed since the Baltimore Ravens selected Lamar Jackson with the 32nd pick in the 2018 Draft. Seven. Years. Where does the time go? Let’s reminisce.
We were coming off a rather unremarkable era of Ravens football: three straight seasons of missing the postseason. The 2017 season in particular ended on this rather unpleasant note.
That play also ended what was the longest playoff drought in North American sports: the Buffalo Bills’ 2000-2017 postseason absence. Bills fans then made record donations to Andy Dalton’s charity. The Ravens were the butt of the joke.
